HANOI TELNO 115 AND 117: VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE: REPATRIATION
1. LE VAN MINH WAS REPATRIATED WITH IS WIFE, FIVE UNMARRIED CHILDREN, HIS MARRIED SON (LE VAN KHAI), HIS DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AND TWO GRANDCHILDREN.
2. HE HAS ANOTHER MARRIED SON AND DAUGHTER-IN-LAW WHOM WE BELIEVE ARE ON BAD TERMS WITH THE REST OF THE FAMILY. THIS COUPLE SEPARATED FROM THE REST OF THE FAMILY AND MOVED INTO ANOTHER DORMITORY AT CHI MA WAN. WE TRIED TO PERSUADE THEM TO MOVE BACK PRIOR TO OUR OPERATION AT CHI MA WAN, BUT WITHOUT SUCCESS. WE HAVE NO INFORMATION OF ANY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS.
3. LE VAN MINH IS THE FAMILY HEAD WE IDENTIFIED IN OUR TELNO 4071 AS BEING MOST LIKELY TO RESIST AT PHOENIX HOUSE. HE IS ALSO THE PERSON WHO CLAIMED DURING THE FLIGHT THAT HE HAD MADE AN APPLICATION FOR VOLUNTARY REPATRIATION. WE HAVE VERIFIED, HOWEVER, THAT AT NO STAGE DID HE MAKE SUCH AN APPLICATION. INDEED, WHILE HE WAS AT PHOENIX HOUSE HE RESISTED FIRMLY ALL EFFORTS TO PERSUADE HIM TO RETURN VOLUNTARILY TO VIETNAM.
