"Mr President, today is an important anniversary for the Vietnam war, not what is usually referred to as the Vietnam War but the war which is taking place day after day in Vietnam against democracy, human rights and fundamental freedoms, the war being waged against the citizens of Vietnam, against the Buddhist monks, against the leaders of movements opposed to the Vietnamese regime.
Today is the anniversary of the birth of that regime. It is a significant date of grave import, particularly for the Catholic and Protestant minority of Vietnamese Montagnards who are being oppressed by this regime. The Transnational Radical Party has called for next Saturday, 7 September, to be a World day of non-violent, Gandhian demonstration to promote democracy and freedom in Vietnam. Chinese dissidents such as Wei Jing-Sheng, the leader of the Vietnamese dissident community, Vo Van Ai, the leader of the Montagnards, and Kok Ksor, will take part.
I call upon all the Members to support the initiative of the Transnational Radical Party and to take part in this world day of non-violent protest against this new, constant, daily battle which is taking place in Vietnam."@en1
