Manila Bulletin
|July 13 2025
Three locations used by Cambodia’s brutal Khmer Rouge regime as torture and execution sites 50 years ago have been added by the United Nations, Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization to its World Heritage List.
-
The three locations were inscribed to the list by the United Nations cultural agency Friday during the 47th Session of the World Heritage Committee in Paris.
The inscription coincided with the 50th anniversary of the rise to power by the communist Khmer Rouge government, which caused the deaths of an estimated 1.7 million Cambodians through starvation, torture, and mass executions during a four-year reign from 1975 to 1979.
