The “H05” designation identifies the fifth wave of the HO Program, which admitted former political prisoners and reeducation camp survivors of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

Nguyễn Đức Trạch, born in 1942, had been imprisoned after 1975 for his role in the Republic of Vietnam. He was released from detention in 1985.
