In Cambodia

Combodia marks the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Khmer Rouge. Though jubilant at the anniversary celebration, many feel short-changed by the fact that there has not been a single trial or persecution of any leading Khmer Rouge figure, reports the BBC. Some blaim the Cambodian government, itself employing ex-Khmer Rouge officials that defected from the group early on. Human Rights Watch voiced concern over the governments deliberate delays in bringing some to justice. A tribunal is planned to try five member in March.
