Abstract
“During the Khmer Rouge period between April 1975 to January 1979, nearly a quarter of Cambodia’s population died as a result of extrajudicial executions, starvation and disease. In addition, tens of thousands of people were cruelly abused, enslaved, systematically tortured and killed. In this dark time, there was a generation of professional torturers. To date, not one of them has been brought to account for the suffering they caused.” – Amnesty International
