Despite extreme torture, the Party comrades in prison still had Party Cells, Party Committees, study activities, and organized struggles with the enemy every hour and every minute, resolutely preserving revolutionary qualities.

Inform political prisoners of our situation and the enemy outside to take precautions or have strategies to fight the enemy in prison. The South was completely liberated, and Can Tho Grand Prison became a deeply engraved evidence of the indelible crimes of colonialism and imperialism.
