Workshop on Party building work and leading revolutionary struggle

On October 29, in Hanoi, the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics and Public Administration coordinated with the Vietnam Prisoner Liaison Committee to organize a scientific workshop on "Party building and leadership of the struggle in enemy prisoner camps during the period 1954-1975."

Nearly 100 historical witnesses of the anti-American, national salvation war from all over the country attended the conference.

In enemy prison camps in the South, the work of Party building and leading the struggle took place in special circumstances, with special conditions, in special situations: between life and death; between the extreme torture of the cruel prison regime and the undying faith in the Party, with the inevitable victory of the revolution; between the strict supervision of the enemy and the desire to connect with the organization and maintain work; between the reality of great difficulty in receiving instructions from the Party organization from outside and the need to regularly and promptly lead the struggle with the enemy to protect comrades and teammates, to continue to contribute to the resistance when becoming prisoners of war... Therefore, the organizational model, method of operation, form of activities and struggle of Party organizations in prisons also had special characteristics.

The workshop aimed to clarify the forms of Party building and leadership of the Party's struggle; continue to honor the political mettle, resilience, creativity in organization and operation, and the great contributions of communist prisoners in enemy prisons during the anti-American war.

At the workshop, the “insiders” and historical witnesses focused on clarifying the enemy’s plots and tricks in suppressing and terrorizing prisoners of war and undermining the Party spirit, Party organizations, Party building work, and Party organizations’ struggle activities in prisons and detention camps. The delegates analyzed: The organizational system, organization and communication methods of Party organizations in prisons and detention camps; Party building work in terms of ideology and politics in prisons and detention camps; Methods, movements, and struggles of Party organizations, Party members and the masses in prisons and detention camps; Experiences in Party building and leading the struggle in enemy prisons and detention camps in the South.

The Organizing Committee has received many articles from comrades who have made important contributions to building the Party organization and leading the struggle in enemy prisons and prisoner camps in the South. The articles are not only memories and confidences of loyal communist soldiers but also have scientific significance, providing many valuable historical documents.

The workshop is an important content in the overall process of organizing and implementing the Project "Summary of Party building work and leadership of the struggle in enemy prisons and detention camps in the South during the period of resistance against the US to save the country (1954-1975) - a scientific project of special importance directly directed by the Central Party Secretariat./.
