THE WEEK, Page 20WORLDEt Cetera
END OF THE LINE
After three years of negotiations, Britain and Vietnam signed
an agreement last week for the deportation from Hong Kong -- by
force, if necessary -- of all Vietnamese boat people who do not
qualify as political refugees. Of the 55,000 Vietnamese migrants
languishing in detention camps, as many as 52,000 face expulsion
over the next four years. The accord follows a pact signed last
Oct. 29, in which Hanoi agreed to accept any boat people who
arrived in the crown colony after that date.
