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.

Simultaneous attacks were carried out throughout the Republic of Vietnam, Tu Dam pagoda in Hue was looted, the statue of the Buddha of Tat-da-kai was destroyed and the body of a deceased monk was also taken go. When the people came to protect the monks, they clashed with the army and police, resulting in 30 civilians dead and 200 injured. A total of 1,400 monks were arrested, about 30 were injured throughout the territory of the Republic of Vietnam. The United States showed disapproval of the Diem government when the US ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. No more Buddhist protests occurred during the remaining tenure of Ngo Dinh Diem (about 5 months). During this time, Ngo Dinh Diem's sister-in-law Tran Le Xuan, a former Buddhist and converted to Catholicism, could consider [[Trần Lệ Xuân]] the first lady de facto (in fact) led by Ngo. Dinh Diem is not married; Trần Lệ Xuân added oil to the fire while mocking the monks' self-immolations, treating them as "barbecues", and declaring "If the Buddhists want more barbecue, I will be delighted. If the Buddhists want to have another barbecue, I will be glad to supply the gasoline. Attacks on temples have sparked widespread anxiety in Saigon's public. Saigon University students deregulated and organized riots, leading to arrest, imprisonment and closing of the university; this was repeated at Hue University. When high school students marched to protest, Ngo Dinh Diem also arrested the students; More than 1,000 students from high schools in Saigon, mostly children of Saigon civil servants, have been sent to re-education camps, reportedly including five-year-olds, accused of painting and writing anti-government sentences and drawings. Diem's foreign minister, Vu Van Mau, resigned, shaved his head like a monk in protest. When he tried to leave the Republic of Vietnam to join a pilgrimage to Indian Buddhist lands, he was arrested and placed under house arrest. On August 20, 1963, Ngo Dinh Nhu directed the security forces of Colonel Le Quang Tung to launch the campaign of Nuoc Flood to attack Xa Loi, Giac Minh, An Quang, Tu Quang, Therevada pagodas in Saigon and Temples nationwide. They wear military uniforms during the raid to show everyone that the Government Army is behind them in this persecution. Ngo Dinh Nhu's forces arrested more than 400 monks sitting in front of the Buddha statue. Thousands of other Buddhists were also arrested across the country (1,400 people in Saigon alone) on the grounds that "Buddhism is henchmen of the Viet Cong". The immediate consequence of the Flood campaign was that the entire Buddhist leadership was arrested, and the Buddhist movement was almost paralyzed. In the three months following the Flood campaign, many world leaders, including Pope Paul VI and Catholic organizations, condemned Ngo Dinh Diem. Ngo Dinh Thuc went to the Vatican but was not received by the Pope, Tran Le Xuan led a National Assembly delegation abroad to protest against the protest. In late September 1963, the United Nations Organization decided to send a delegation to Vietnam to investigate the persecution of Buddhism at the invitation of the Republic of Vietnam.

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.
