Members of a Japanese group that campaigned against the Vietnam War will visit Ho Chi Minh City later this month to donate materials and documents detailing their activities in the 1960s and 1970s to the state-run War Remnants Museum.
About 30 members of the Japan Peace for Vietnam! Committee also plan to exchange views with Vietnamese politicians and intellectuals about how they see the 21st century following the events of Sept. 11, they said.
The committee, known in Japan as Beheiren, campaigned vigorously against Tokyo's involvement in the war and helped U.S. deserters escape between 1965 and 1974.
