Images of anti-war protests against the ‘American war’ from around the world. The caption under the photo surrounded by flames reads: “Self-immolation by Rodgers Lapoter, a 22-year-old American, in front of the UN Headquarters as protest against the US invasion of Viet Nam. 09th November 1965.”

At the Hoa Lo Prison museum. Political prisoners held in shackles by the French.
From Hoa Lo prison, a display illustrating water boarding, torture and resistance.
