Cambodia: Ex-Khmer Rouge leader loses genocide appeal
A UN-backed war crimes tribunal has rejected an appeal by the last surviving leader of the Khmer Rouge armed group.
The court in Cambodia has upheld the genocide conviction and life sentence handed to 91 year-old Khieu Samphan in 2018.
He was head of state during the rule of the Khmer Rouge, when two million people were killed.

Never forget, China supported this government. Vietnam invaded Cambodia and China was so upset that they invaded Vietnam but utterly failed in their goal of making Vietnam leave Cambodia. After enough casualties, China declared that “successfully taught Vietnam a lesson,” and left the country after achieving nothing.

Tbh all countries besides Vietnam failed Cambodians during the regime, both China and the US supported the gov while the UN did nothing until after the invasion by Vietnam.

@@dkwhattouseasusername1012 yeah the U.S. has its own history of supporting brutal dictatorships. But here China invaded Vietnam to help the Khmer Rouge. They failed to save them but still found a way to play it off as a victory to their own people. “We teach Vietnam a lesson”. The entire rest of the world recognizes it as a failure to achieve their stated goals.

Laos and the people's republic of Kampuchea were also involved, its just that vietnam played the larger role
It take too long to prosecute war crimes ,it should have been prosecute back in the 1980... not 40, 50 years later. 2 million peoples lost their life, it's not worth it!
The fact that he’s actually seeking an appeal is crazy!!
Take him out back ! Detail of six men ! And let justice be served.
1979 after Vietnam won Pol Pot, Thailand support Pol pot until 1989. after UN talk with Thai 1 billion USD open the border help the Cambodian people in Thailand refugee camp. Cambodia land control with for army. 1 - Pol Pot army support by Thailand 2 - Cambodian National Liberation from Sern San and Sor Keng 3 - Cambodian National Liberation from Fun Sipich, family King 4 - Cambodian National Liberation from Hun Sen support by Vietnam. after France and Indonesia help Cambodia with Paris peace a greement of 4 army sign 1991 until 1993 UN era in Cambodia.
It’s hard to understand why people will carry out such things on their own people
Thanks Vietnam for Overthrowing The Khmer Rouge .

what about israel
Apakah polpot punya anak???, dimana keturunannya sekarang
lots of ppl in general are saying china supports the war or the wrong side or whatever it was they chose to belive in, but tbh, I think china was targeting vietnam as a whole
Khev Samphon, Noun Chea, Soun Sen is originally from the family's China, but they were born in Cambodia, and Eang Sary, Eang Thirith , Penn Savan, Bun Nary, queen Monique, is from Vietnam and Kheo Punnary is Pol Pot's wife ,she is a professor were teaching at Sisovat School, and she was a spied of Viet cong and hidden in Cambodia
12th April US Ambassy leaving Cambodia. US Lose Indochina war. US never Know a bout Cambodian Love Sihanouk King, but US bad relations with Sihanouk King, and Support Lun Nol. Cambodian angry Lun Nol a bout destroyed of Royal throne, chang Cambodia to Khmer Republic 1972, and 1973 King Sihanouk anounced to all Cambodian support King back to power joined with Khmer Red military support by China. 1975 Pol Pot Betray the king and Detention of the King in the Royal Palace 1976. China not support Pol Pot during 1977 they know the Sihanouk King not power military but Thailand always support Pol Pot until 1989.
Investigate the regime? The king of Cambodia little hun sen was a Khmer rouge. What left to investigate?

The (current?) prime minister was as footsoldier for the KR (he later defected). Just goes to show how involved all layers of society were in the regime. Many Cambodians were involved in the KR. While many were victims and survivors, many were also carrying out the will of the Angkha. Many were simultaneously victim and oppressor. As a result, most of the country would rather let sleeping dogs lie then try to deal out justice, as doing so would implicate much more people than they'd be comfortable with.

Hun Sen took away all power from the King Sihanouk and Sihamoni, and was responsible for the 1997 clashing between Ranariddh and Hun Sen, leading into a huge disaster.

Oh shut up ZionNazi. Nonstop killings and Palestinians are on the move towards the death traps of the so called “safe zones” where Israeli terrorists of Chabad/Talmudic Zionists follow them and bomb them. Now Israel started Ukrainian war and morons like you just jump on the bandwagon against Russia.

Yeah. Pol Pot and Khmer Rouge leaders are actually national heroes. They just wanted to build agricultural paradise as Mao Zedong proposed and make Khmer Empire great again. But unfortunately, Vietnam invaded Cambodia and disrupted that process. They did not directly killed anyone, they should live peacefully to the end of their lives like Pol Pot, not sentenced or executed

Look here! Israel and Ukraine are one and the same. Yitzhak Ben-Zvi was born in Ukraine, Shmuel Dayan, Levi Eshkol, Ephraim Katzir, Golda Meir, Anatoly Borisovich Shcharansky, Moshe Sharett, Igor Kolomoiski is Israeli-Ukrainian, and the IOFs Yaakov Dori and Tzvi Tzur to name a few. Israelis are Ukrainians(who are all descendants of Khazars). Russia is not annexing part of Ukraine. The region is populated by ethnic Russians (70%) who have been oppressed by the Kiev idiocracy regime. They are having a referendum to join Russia or not. Is the West and Israel going to deny these ethnic Russians their right to choose? Ukraine is a country run by the Mafia and a government just ad corrupt, Zealotsky stole 70% of all given to him. Again it’s a slave and the boss. Big Satan America and Israel controls Ukraine and ordering it to commit crimes in Crimea using weapons provided by America, Israel, EU, UK and its other gangsters criminals. Russia should tighten security of liberated areas from NATO, US and Israel army fighting in Ukraine and wait to attack their heavy weapons from Rumania and Poland to destroy it with Kamikaze drones.
