ANAP has 1680 members, all former prisoners and deportees in Indochina, and their spouses. They represent all of the fighting in Indochina: During the 1939-1945 war with those who were detained by the Japanese, the soldiers in the mud of the Mekong Delta and Red River and those fighting on the RC 4 and of Dien Bien Phu, who finally operations in Cambodia and Laos. It brings together all categories of grades, ranging from Legionnaire's largest army general, all races and nationalities, all religions like the Cefeo (French Expeditionary Corps in the Far East).

It includes all forms of capture and removal: Japanese prisoners of Viets, Koreans, Chinese, crews of aircraft shot down or sunken ships, military or civilian hostages, both male and female of all ages, some of which are born in captivity. There are representatives of all battles: RC4, Vinh-Yen, Dien-Bien-Phu, Nga-lo, Hauts Plateaux of all armed forces (Earth, Air, Sea).

All periods of detention are cited, ranging from one day to eight years.
Each was released on a novel: The escapees, who were released "unconditionally" during the conflict, or after the Geneva accords.
Mentioned are all geographical areas: Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and even China. All camps, prisons and penitentiaries are in our memories. Among its members there are also brothers Eurasian most of which have experienced the Japanese camps.
In a word, a very wide range and variety of men and women whose common feature was dropped in the hands of the opponent on a day when luck has not smiled more.
All walked barefoot on the roads cut into tooth piano, "wallowing in the mud, shared their lice, tired of hunger, fever and chiasse and seen so many companions die of misery and misfortune.

The association is organized on an internal level in the following manner:

* A National Bureau of 17 members including the President of the ANAPI chairs, especially surrounded by the Secretary General, Deputy Secretary General and National Treasurer.

* 21 Regional Offices, each with a Regional President and Regional Treasurer.

Under the preservation of vested interests of former prisoners in Indochina, the ANAP won that was passed by Parliament unanimously Law No. 89-1013 of 31 December 1989 establishing the status of prisoner of the Viet - Minh.

One must remember that 40,000 prisoners on the Viet Minh camps, only 9000 returned. With the exception of extermination, the proportion of deaths is at least equal to that of Nazi concentration camps. The few survivors lived this hell on their return to France an unfinished drama: unknown, they were often treated as pariahs when they fought in Indochina and to France by order of the French government.

As for prisoners and deported by the Japanese who were nearly 10,000 status has never been unified. Those who suffered losses from the jails fast enough Kempétaï were recognized as resistant deported. Those who were sent to camps or deportation of hard labor benefited later also deported status. ANAP still fighting for recognition of rights to prisoners of the Japanese who are without status.

Under the preservation of the moral, the members of the ANAPI found, to their great regret that the history of their comrades in the Indo-Chinese gulags, is totally ignored by the general public, especially the younger generations. As for the deported by the Japanese, beyond a very restricted circle, who knows their existence?

The year 2004 is the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the war in Indochina, and members of the ANAPI which still represent the living memory of these tragedies have decided to devote a major effort to bring awareness of the history of these long forgotten soldiers, part of the history of France.

Furthermore, ANAPI, both regional and national and international development, with the help of other associations, social actions. The association helps its members and their widows in need. She also developed a series of important actions in Vietnam: Reconstruction of a cathedral, construction of 5 schools and a clinic.
