Khmer Rouge leaders face trial

Published November 23, 2011

Two top Khmer Rouge leaders accused of genocide and other atrocities are expected to address Cambodia's war crimes court, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), as the trial enters it's third day. The tribunal is seeking justice on behalf of the 1.7 million people, as much as a quarter of Cambodia's then-population, estimated to have died from executions, starvation, disease and overwork when the Khmer Rouge held power in 1975-79. - Photos by Agencies.
