Navigation Primary Navigation Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Top Stories Most Popular Secondary Navigation Australia China India Indonesia Japan Malaysia Philippines Thailand Vietnam Search Search: Cambodia marks 30th anniversary of Khmer Rouge ouster AFP - 1 hour 19 minutes ago PHNOM PENH (AFP) - - Tens of thousands of Cambodians cheered the 30th anniversary of the ouster of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime at an elaborate stadium ceremony mounted by the country's powerful ruling party Wednesday. About 40,000 people attended the celebration three decades to the day in 1979 when Vietnamese-led forces toppled the Khmer Rouge, which is blamed for the deaths of up to two million people. Prime Minister Hun Sen and members of the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) applauded at the capital's Olympic Stadium while hundreds of traditional Khmer dancers, a marching band and parade floats streamed past. "The victory of January 7 saved the fatherland and people of Cambodia in a timely manner," party president Chea Sim told the crowd in a speech. He said the anniversary marked the end of "the dark chapter of Cambodian history" and thanked Vietnam for "saving the country from genocide" and reviving the nation. The Khmer Rouge came to power in 1975 and is accused of killing millions through overwork, execution or starvation before it was ousted by a Hanoi-backed military force in January 1979. The CPP has ruled Cambodia since it was installed by Hanoi at the time, and Chea Sim went on to outline government successes in bringing development to the impoverished country while thanking citizens for supporting the ruling party. But Chea Sim made no mention in his speech of the UN-backed war crimes trial of surviving Khmer Rouge leaders, expected to begin within the next few months. Khmer Rouge "Brother Number One" Pol Pot died in 1998, but five surviving regime leaders are due to be tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity, after delays over the last decade amid concerns over political interference. Rights groups and some opposition politicians have accused the government of trying to derail the trials for fear of exposing atrocities committed by former regime cadres currently serving in Hun Sen's administration. Human Rights Watch this week accused Hun Sen and the CPP of trying to obstruct more prosecutions. It made the claim after a disagreement emerged between the court's international and Cambodian co-prosecutors about whether additional cases against other senior Khmer Rouge leaders would threaten Cambodia's stability. Some Cambodians also criticise the January 7 anniversary, saying it represents the takeover of a repressive Vietnamese regime which held the country for a dozen years, rather than a day of liberation. Hun Sen on Tuesday lashed out at those who did not celebrate the 30th anniversary, calling them "animals."
