Fact Sheet

The fact sheet explains that nearly 800 American prisoners of war and missing men were being held in South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, often in terrible jungle prisons where they faced disease, starvation, torture, and isolation. The document also blames the Viet Cong’s leadership, specifically Pham Hung and the Communist command, for the mistreatment of these men and demands accountability.
