[Introduction]

Over the past ten months President Thieu has given plenty of signs that he intends to ignore the terms of the Vietnam Peace Agreement in following a programme aimed at liquidating his political opponents whoever they may be.

On October 24th 1972 Thieu called for the "extermination of what he called the "undesirable elements". The Associated Press and the CBS Evening News reported on October 31st that Thieu had sent out directives and leaflets asking people to "exterminate the Communists" before, during and after a ceasefire.
