When the Khmer Rouge invited a pair of American journalists to Cambodia in the late 1970s for a rare glimpse of the revolution, they found empty streets and schools in a city with no laughter.
The Khmer Rouge were not "bad people", the regime's highest-ranking surviving member said on Monday as Cambodia's UN-backed war crimes tribunal began hearing evidence in a long-awaited atrocities trial.
Cambodia's UN-backed war crimes court said Wednesday it had started contempt of court proceedings against Voice of America Khmer for revealing confidential information about a new Khmer Rouge case.
