Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge era saw more than 1.5 million people die.
The long awaited trial of Khmer Rouge leaders in Cambodia passed a significant milestone this week, with the ground rules for the legal landmark finally being set. But the setting up of the court has come at an agonisingly slow pace.
It is more than 27 years since the genocidal regime was ousted, following the deaths of at least one and a half million people.
101 East’s Teymoor Nabili hears from those that suffered during the Khmer Rouge era and discusses the trial’s impact on Cambodia with some of the leading experts on the country.
