Cambodian Genocide (17 апр 1975 г. – 7 янв 1979 г.)

Описание:

Who: Khmer Rouge, Cham Muslim

What: Once Khmer Rouge took over, they started the removal of city dwellers into the countryside, where they would be forced to work as farmers, digging canals and tending to crops. Gross mismanagement of the country’s economy led to shortages of food and medicine, and untold numbers of people succumbed to disease and starvation. The fields were know as "The Killing Fields" where their bodies were disposed.

Why: Religious and ethnic minorities faced particular persecution. Christian and Buddhist groups were targeted for repression but it was the Cham Muslim group that was most affected by the genocide. As many as 500,000 people, or 70% of the total Cham population, were exterminated.

Where: Cambodia, Ho Chi Minh Trail, Laos

When: April 17 1975 January 7 1979
