A group of over 90 prominent antiwar activists led by Joan Baez appealed to Vietnam to halt detentions in re-education centers and religious repression. They handed a petition to Vietnam's UN observer after failed private efforts, naming Allen Ginsberg and Bishop Carroll Dozier among signees while others requested anonymity.
