Currently, the Hao Duoc commune council has made public the head and liver of the condemned man. On May 6, 1959, the National Assembly of the Republic of Vietnam passed Law No. 91 called Law 10-59, later signed by the President of the Republic of Vietnam, Ngo Dinh Diem. This law provides for the organization of special military tribunals on the basis of "adjudication of war crimes against the Republic of Vietnam", in order to purge the communists in South Vietnam. According to law 10-59, the accused can be brought to trial without the need to open an investigation, the sentence is only of two levels: death or torture, the trial lasts 3 days is maximum, no amnesty or appeal; the death penalty instrument also includes a guillotine. After the promulgation of this law, the revolutionary forces of the South were heavily persecuted, arrested, and persecuted by the Diem government, especially the members of the Communist Party, so the force suffered great losses. | Currently, the Hao Duoc commune council has made public the head and liver of the condemned man.

Diem, assisted by U.S. military and economic aid, was able to resettle hundreds of thousands of refugees from North Vietnam in the south, but his own Catholicism and the preference he showed for fellow Roman Catholics made him unacceptable to Buddhists, who were an overwhelming majority in South Vietnam. Diem never fulfilled his promise of land reforms, and during his rule communist influence and appeal grew among southerners as the communist-inspired [[Việt Cộng]], launched an increasingly intense guerrilla war against his government. The military tactics Diem used against the insurgency were heavy-handed and ineffective and served only to deepen his government’s unpopularity and isolation. | Diem, assisted by U.S. military and economic aid, was able to resettle hundreds of thousands of refugees from North Vietnam in the south, but his own Catholicism and the preference he showed for fellow Roman Catholics made him unacceptable to Buddhists, who were an overwhelming majority in South Vietnam.
