Recently, the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam has issued the Circular No. 145/2020/TT-BCA on power, procedures, security measures to protect life, health, property, honor, dignity of corruption and waste whistleblowers.

According to Article 8 of the Circular No. 145/2020/TT-BCA of the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam, procedures for protection of the life, health, property, honor, dignity of corruption and waste whistleblowers are specified in Section 2 Chapter VI of the Law on Denunciation of Vietnam.

If the person authorized to address the whistleblowing case gives a conclusion about or terminates the whistleblowing case, he/she must promptly give a notice in order for the competent police authority to terminate the protective measures. The decision on termination of protective measures shall be sent to the protectees, the person authorized to address the whistleblowing case and relevant entities.

After the person authorized to address the whistleblowing case gave a conclusion about or terminated the whistleblowing case and the competent police authority, upon request, terminated the protective measures, if the person authorized to address the whistleblowing case keeps receiving a grounded request made by the corruption or waste whistleblower that the protectee’s life, health, property, honor and dignity keeps being or is likely to be infringed, that person shall forward the request to the competent police authority and notify the whistleblower in writing.
