...that the Saigon authorities stop meddling with student activities in university buildings). Several were arrested and severely tortured. The student body responded with another wave of protests.

Then, the invasion of Cambodia sparked an escalation of the struggle; the students, demanding that the government condemn the Lon Nol regime's pogroms of Vietnamese in Cambodia, "liberated" the empty Cambodian embassy in Saigon. Militant peace banners ("We want peace, not solutions") appeared with increasing frequency during the mass protest marches...
