Sentencing of Khmer Rouge Killer


The Cambodian authorities have acted promptly and decisively in bringing Chuon Mean, one of the Khmer Rouge killers of Kellie Wilkinson and her British companions, to trial and conviction.

We are pleased that justice has begun to be done.

We hope that the others responsible for Kellie Wilkinson's murder, and particularly the commander who ordered it, can also be found, brought to court, and given the punishment they deserve.
