Laos: 2015 Human Rights Report

By U.S. Department of State

The most significant human rights problem continued to be that the government denied citizens the ability to choose their government.Other human rights problems continued to include: abusive prison conditions; lack of due process, including arbitrary arrest and detention; government infringements on freedoms of speech, press, assembly, and association, as well as on the right to privacy; government restrictions on academic freedom; local restrictions on religious freedom; trafficking in persons; societal discrimination based on sexual orientation and against persons with HIV/AIDS; and restrictions on workers' rights.The government neither prosecuted nor punished officials who committed abuses, and police and security forces acted with impunity.
