Understanding this quote
The speaker promises to keep speaking out until people in Vietnam have genuine human rights. Repeating “human rights” and adding “real” stresses that rights must exist in practice, not merely be claimed or described that way. The sentence presents continued public criticism as a response to the absence of those rights.
