Line 24:

*Concentration camps were operated by the [[Young Turks]] during the [[Armenian Genocide]] to eliminate Armenians who survived death marches through deserts.

*In South Vietnam, the government of [[Ngô Đình Diệm]] countered North Vietnamese subversion (including the assassination of over 450 South Vietnamese officials in 1956) by detaining tens of thousands of suspected communists in "political re-education centers." This was a ruthless program that incarcerated many non-communists, although it was also successful at curtailing communist activity in the country, if only for a time. The North Vietnamese government claimed that over 65,000 individuals were incarcerated and 2,148 killed in the process by November 1957, although these figures may be exaggerated.

*North Vietnam ~~also~~ operated concentration camps as well. During the early years of the [[Communist Party of Vietnam]]'s rule, [[Ho Chi Minh]] launched a campaign of land reform beginning in 1953. Hundreds of thousands of citizens were accused of being landlords and were summarily executed or tortured and starved in concentration camps. More than 172,000 people died during the North Vietnam campaign after being classified as landowners and wealthy farmers, official records of the time show.
