30 Years for a Trial

by John Vink

More than 30 years after the fall of the Khmer Rouge regime, Cambodia will finally publicly face its brutal past during an international judiciary process and hopefully be allowed to put the souls of 1,7 million victims at rest. Even if only less than ten people will be prosecuted, the importance of having a tribunal which is understood by everyone is vitally important for its credibility.
The first accused, Kaing Guek Eav, alias Duch, was in charge of the S21 interrogation center where 15,000 people were tortured and killed. Charged with crimes against humanity, his verdict will be pronounced within the next couple of months. All the remaining top leaders of the 'Angkar', charged with crimes against humanity and genocide, are waiting for their trial to begin.
