They lived on concrete under guard stations with lights on 24 hours a day.
They couldn't move around freely inside or cook their own food.
When I visited, there were children born there who had never walked on anything but concrete.
Some adult visitors were allowed to take a few children to see a large Buddha--outside the camp.
We were as many as the children for fear they would escape.
They were only interested in two things--the telephones at the station and a stray dog. They had never seen either before.
We watched them with tears in our eyes. I took photos of the barbed wire rolls the Chinese were installing, but I did it secretly.
I was watched. I couldn't allow any Vietnamese person to accompany me as they wished to do while I took these photos, as they would have been jailed after I left.
There was a terrible deadly riot there on Tet.
It was hell on earth for innocent refugees who sought freedom and landed in the wrong place.
