A ceremony was held recently at the special national relic site of Phu Quoc Prison, on Phu Quoc Island off the coast of Kien Giang province, to mark the 50th anniversary of the return of Vietnamese communist revolutionaries imprisoned by the enemy.

More than 1,500 former prisoners detained by the French and US during wartime at Phu Quoc prison gathered on April 6 to recall their shared memories of the heroic past.
