R.I.P. Nuon Chea -93 Anonymous 08/05/19 (Mon) 05:24:56 f319b6 No. 13575341
When your convicted of Genocide of 2 million and given a LIFE sentence at 92.
Known as Brother Number Two, Nuon Chea was second only to the regime's leader Pol Pot during Khmer Rouge rule over Cambodia from 1975 to 1979.
Up to two million people are thought to have died during the Khmer Rouge's four years in power.
In 2018, a UN-backed court sentenced Nuon Chea to life in prison.
A spokesman for the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) confirmed that the 93-year-old had died in hospital. The cause of death was not announced.

I saw this thread and realized that I didn't actually know how Pol Pot died. People usually just stop the story when Vietnam invades.
>On the night of 15 April 1998, two days before the 23rd anniversary of the Khmer Rouge takeover of Phnom Penh, the Voice of America, of which Pol Pot was a devoted listener, announced that the Khmer Rouge had agreed to turn him over to an international tribunal. According to his wife, he died in his bed later that night while waiting to be moved to another location. Ta Mok claimed that his death was due to heart failure.
The fact that he listened to Voice of America is so funny. Why would he do that?
