Decades After Khmer Rouge’s Rule, 2 Senior Leaders Are Convicted in Cambodia

LOUNG Uncategorized

The verdict is not surprising. I’ve been following this for so long, even testifying before US Congress in support of a trial in 1998. I have long thought this trial was more about education than justice. Now that it’s here, I am surprisingly emotional about it. A rush of sadness for our losses, pride that we survived it, and gratitude to the people who’ve worked so hard to bring the trial into being. And yes, it does feel like closure. I didn’t think I would feel this, but I do. Peace to all, Loung
