Amnesty International condemns forced repatriation of Vietnamese refugees
Amnesty International released a 54 page report from a fact finding mission in Hong Kong camps.

The report argues the delegates in Geneva should condemn forced repatriation and cites risks from non violent political religious or literary activities.
