Categories: East Asia, Cambodia, Humanitarian Response, War & Conflict

Andy Brouwer reports that another top-ranking member of the Khmer Rouge has escaped facing justice [1]. “Fears that Ta Mok, known as ‘The Butcher,’ wouldn't live to see the tribunal to prosecute the surviving Khmer Rouge leaders, have come to fruition with his death today in a military hospital in Phnom Penh”. Andy's previous post remembers Christopher Howes [2]. “Howes worked for the Mines Advisory Group and was kidnapped and executed in Anlong Veng on the orders of Ta Mok by men under his command.”
