(Santa Ana, CA) Senator Janet Nguyen is asking the public to join her at the next meeting on Tuesday, July 14, 2015 of the Sacramento City Council to protest Sacramento's recognition of a delegation from Ho Chi Minh City. Senator Janet Nguyen vehemently opposes recognizing the delegation due to Vietnam's decades of human rights violations and oppressive tactics against their citizens. Senator Nguyen further intends to discourage the Sacramento City Council from considering any future partnerships with Cities in Vietnam.

"As someone who fled Vietnam in search of freedom, I am disappointed that the Sacramento City Council is planning to recognize a delegation from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. By doing so, the Sacramento City Council is inadvertently granting the Vietnamese government legitimacy they do not deserve," said Senator Janet Nguyen.

According to online reports, Sacramento Vice Mayor Allen Warren could also be potentially considering establishing a Sister City relationship between the City of Sacramento and Ho Chi Minh City.

"It is critical that the Sacramento City Council hears from us so they can understand why the Vietnamese-American community of California rejects contact with any delegation from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Above all, we need to ensure that the Sacramento City Council does not explore any 'Friendship or Sister City' relationship with these delegations in the future," said Senator Janet Nguyen.

Senator Nguyen is calling on public members who share her concerns to join her for a protest at Sacramento City Hall this Tuesday, July 14, 2015 at 12:00 p.m. Sacramento City Hall is located at 951 I Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.
