Page "Ta Thu Thau" Paragraph 3

Arrested during a protest demonstration against the execution of the Yen Bay rebels in front of the Elysee Palace on 22 May 1930, he was arrested and expelled back to Vietnam.

Several left opposition groups were formed-the Communist League in Western Saigon in May 1931, Left Opposition and Indochinese Communism.

These groups united and Ta Thu Thau was acknowledged as the most notable leader of the Trotskyists in Vietnam.

In 1932 the French Colonial authorities arrested many members of the Indochinese Communist Party and the Trotskyists.

All left-wing activity in Indochina was clandestine.
