Khmer Rouge Regime (Part1)

The Khmer Rouge (Khmer: ខ្មែរក្រហម -- "Khmer Krahom" in Khmer) was the name given to the followers of the Communist Party of Kampuchea, who were the ruling party in Cambodia from 1975 to 1979, led by Pol Pot, Nuon Chea, Ieng Sary, Son Sen and Khieu Samphan. The regime led by the Khmer Rouge from 1975 to 1979 was known as the Democratic Kampuchea.

This organization is remembered primarily for its policy of social engineering, which resulted in genocide.Its attempts at agricultural reform led to widespread famine, while its insistence on absolute self-sufficiency, even in the supply of medicine, led to the deaths of thousands from treatable diseases (such as malaria). Brutal and arbitrary executions and torture carried out by its cadres against perceived subversive elements, or during purges of its own ranks between 1976 and 1978, are considered to have constituted a genocide.And this Video Showing the bad time that some people show on their interview in their life during Khmer Rouge Regime, and all the experiences that they get for 3 years 8 months and 20 days in their own country.
