Today's Video Focus: They murdered, enslaved, and tortured their fellow citizens in Cambodia
and Vietnam during the 1970s, but now, two top officials of the Khmer
Rouge have also been found guilty of genocide.
A UN-backed tribunal has delivered a historic judgement against two of
Pol Pot's deputies Nuon Chea, and Khieu Samphan, sentencing both to life
in prison.
Cambodia Prime Minister Hun Sen, himself a mid-level Khmer Rouge
official before defecting, has said that no more suspects should be
prosecuted. There are cases against four more officials pending, but it
has taken the tribunal 12 years and $300 million to convict three people
and it is unclear if the remaining cases will move forward.
