Cambodian genocide

In the first few weeks after Cambodia fell to the Khmer Rouge in April 1975, the nation's cities were evacuated, hospitals emptied, schools closed, factories deserted. Freedom of the press disappeared. During the years 1975-1979 Democratic Kampuchea (DK) was a prison camp state, and the 8 million prisoners served most of their time in solitary confinement. In that time, 1.7, million of the inmates were worked, starved and beaten to death
