Bùi Tín

Bùi Tín (29 December 1927 – 11 August 2018) was a Vietnamese dissident and People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) colonel, serving in the PAVN general staff. After the war, he became disillusioned by corruption and the continuing isolation of the newly unified Vietnam. He decided to leave Vietnam and live in exile in Paris to express his growing dissatisfaction with the Communist Party of Vietnam and their political system.

In this Vietnamese name, the surname is Bùi, but is often simplified to Bui in English-language text. In accordance with Vietnamese custom, this person should be referred to by the given name, Tín.
