Cambodia's Khmer Rouge Tribunal to start after years of delay
Updated
Thirty years ago Vietnamese forces overran the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh and ended the terrorising reign of the Khmer Rouge, which had left as many as two million people dead. The regime's leader, Pol Pot, has been dead for more than a decade. But on Tuesday a trial against the first defendant will begin in the UN-backed Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia. Kaing Guek Eav, or Comrade Duch, headed the notorious S-21 prison and now faces charges of crimes against humanity.
Presenter: Karen Percy, South East Asia Correspondent
Speakers: Helen Jarvis, head of public affairs, Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, Phnom Penh
