Vietnamese re-education camps (1975–1980s)
On the Refugee crises map as “Re-education camps”
1975–1980s — Former officers, officials and others tied to the Saigon government are sent to “re-education” camps, many in the northern mountains, for months or years without trial. Hundreds of thousands passed through; deaths from hunger, disease and overwork are estimated in the tens of thousands. Remember them.
