Khmer Rouge Leaders Are Convicted in Cambodia.

Thursday found the two most senior surviving leaders of the Khmer Rouge, which brutalized Cambodia during the 1970s, guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced them to life in prison. The chief judge, Nil Nonn, said the court found that there had been a “widespread and systematic attack against the civilian population of Cambodia” and that the two men had been part of a “joint criminal enterprise” that bore responsibility. They were convicted of murder and extermination, among other crimes. More than 1.7 million people died under the rule of the Khmer Rouge from 1975 to 1979. Continue reading the main story RELATED COVERAGE Mam Sonando, at a birthday celebration, has been arrested three times over reports on his Beehive Radio program that offended the government.In Cambodia, Voicing the StruggleMARCH 13, 2014 The Economist Behind the Khmer RougeJUNE 27, 2011 The proceedings of the tribunal, a joint effort of the Cambodian government and the United Nations, have been criticized for being extremely belated and for covering only a narrow sliver of the Khmer Rouge’s crimes. The judgments against the two men — Nuon Chea, 88, and Khieu Samphan, 83 — were the first handed down against the Khmer Rouge leadership, although a lower-ranking official, who ran a notorious prison for the regime in Phnom Penh, was convicted in 2010. Both defendants will appeal, their lawyers said. The case against the two has been divided into stages. The trial that culminated Thursday, in a courthouse on the outskirts of Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital, focused largely on the evacuation of urban centers, part of the Khmer Rouge’s disastrous attempt to establish an agrarian utopia. Initial hearings have begun for the second trial, which includes charges of genocide. Witnesses have given harrowing testimony of being forced out of their homes and into the countryside by Khmer Rouge soldiers, being denied medical care, and seeing executions and other atrocities. The evacuation of Phnom Penh in April 1975 portended the social fragmentation that would follow over the next three years and eight months of Khmer Rouge rule. Families were separated, money was abolished and the population was forced into a giant, failed campaign of collectivized labor. “The heart of the Khmer Rouge crimes was the complete disregard of human costs of their revolution,” said David Chandler, a former American diplomat who served in Cambodia and is a leading historian on the Khmer Rouge atrocities. “Their vision was completely flawed and unhitched to reality.” Continue reading the main story RELATED IN OPINION Op-Ed Contributor: Crackdown in CambodiaJAN. 8, 2014 The limited scope of the trial and verdict, which dealt only with the forced evacuations and one site where mass executions occurred, has frustrated many observers and victims, and even the staunchest supporters of the trial, which began in 2011, have been ambivalent about the process. “We knew that the court would not resolve everything,” said Youk Chhang, founder of the Documentation Center of Cambodia, an organization that has amassed a trove of documents and photographs from the Khmer Rouge era. “But it was important to have the proceedings.”Though hearings have begun for the second trial, it remains an open question how far the proceedings will go, given the age and frailty of the defendants. Both men have been hospitalized several times over the past three years, leading to multiple delays. Continue reading the main storyContinue reading the main storyContinue reading the main story Another defendant, Ieng Sary, the foreign minister of the Khmer Rouge government, died in 2013, and his wife, Ieng Thirith, who was also a minister, was declared mentally unfit for trial. Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge leader, died in the jungles of northwestern Cambodia in 1998. The trial judges’ decision to split the huge indictment into smaller cases was made in the belief that it would expedite a verdict. But prosecutors and victims argued that the selection of crimes to hear in the first part of the trial was poor. “For people who pay attention to details, it’s a pretty narrow verdict,” said Anne Heindel, the co-author of “Hybrid Justice,” a recent book on the tribunal. “It doesn’t encompass many of the things that people think about when they think about the Khmer Rouge, so many of the crimes that victims experienced and remember: when they worked in cooperatives, when they were starving.” Mr. Nuon Chea, who was the deputy secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea under Pol Pot, defended Khmer Rouge policies as necessary to the development of a “people’s democratic revolution.” He said Phnom Penh had been evacuated out of “kindness and generosity” because the leadership feared that the capital would be bombed by the American military.Mr. Khieu Samphan is a former teacher and Parliament member, known in the 1960s as a frugal and uncorrupt figure. He became the Khmer Rouge’s head of state in 1976 and served for years as a figurehead for the regime. Many witnesses testified that they refused to believe that he knew of high-level decisions to evacuate urban centers and purge the country of supposed traitors. Some of the nearly 4,000 victims who filed claims in the trial were in the courtroom gallery on Thursday, including Norng Chan Phal, who was a boy when he was jailed in the infamous S-21 prison in Phnom Penh, where his parents were tortured before being executed. “We have been waiting for this verdict for more than 30 years,” he said outside the courthouse, adding that he wanted the defendants denied a proper burial. “After they die, their bodies should be kept in the prison cells.” The verdict was broadcast live on Cambodian television and has been widely covered in the local news media. But among young people, there has been limited interest. Some were not even aware that a verdict was being issued. Across the street from the courthouse on Thursday, a group of young garment workers from a nearby factory gathered to stare, wondering aloud what was taking place. Nuon Chantha, 24, said she knew very little about the proceedings. “I don’t have much time to pay attention to the hearing,” she said. “I spend most of my day working.”

Global terror attack deaths rose sharply in 2014, says report

There were nearly 10,000 terrorist attacks in 2013, a 44% increase from the previous year, the Global Terrorism Index 2014 report added. The report said militant groups Islamic State, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram and the Taliban were behind most of the deaths. Iraq was the country most affected by terrorism, the report said. The report by the Institute for Economics and Peace says that nearly 18,000 people died from terrorist attacks in 2013. "Not only is the intensity of terrorism increasing, its breadth is increasing as well," it notes. Steve Killelea, IEP executive chairman, told the BBC the latest increase in deaths from terrorism was primarily due to the civil war in Syria, which began in 2011.The report, which investigates terrorism trends between 2000 and 2013, uses data from the US-based Global Terrorism Database. It includes rankings of countries by the impact of terrorist activities, based on the number of terrorist attacks, deaths and injuries from terrorism, and damage to property. Five countries - Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria and Syria - accounted for 80% of the deaths from terrorism in 2013. More than 6,000 people died in Iraq alone. India, Somalia, the Philippines, Yemen and Thailand were the next five, with between 1% and 2.3% of global deaths by terrorism. Although Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries only experienced 5% of all deaths from terrorism since 2000, they suffered some of the deadliest attacks, the report said. These included the 11 September 2003 attacks on the US, the 2004 Madrid train bombings, the 2005 London bombings, and the bombing and shooting attack in Norway in 2012. During 2013, Turkey and Mexico were the OECD countries with the highest number of deaths from terrorism, at 57 and 40 respectively. Religious or political? The report said that the four main groups were responsible for 66% of all deaths from terrorist attacks in 2013: Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, Boko Haram and the self-styled Islamic State.The increase in terrorism in Nigeria could be attributed to Boko Haram, the report said All four groups used "religious ideologies based on extreme interpretations of Wahhabi Islam", it added. "To counteract the rise of religious extremism, moderate Sunni theologies need to be cultivated by credible forces within Islam," the report said, but it was important that "moderate Sunni countries and not outside influences" led such a response. The report added that religious ideology was not the only motivation for terrorism. "There are many peaceful Muslim-majority countries that do not suffer from terrorism such as Qatar, the UAE and Kuwait, underscoring how there are other social, political and geopolitical factors at play," the report said. In many parts of the world, terrorism was "far more likely to be driven by political or nationalistic and separatist" movements. The report said the three main factors found globally to correlate with terrorism were High social hostilities between different ethnic, religious and linguistic groups The presence of state-sponsored violence such as extrajudicial killings and human rights abuses High levels of overall violence, such as deaths from organised conflict or high levels of violent crime A vigil in India following a Maoist attack on politicians. The report says Maoist groups were responsible for nearly half of all deaths from terrorism in India Mr Killelea said religious figures in some moderate Sunni countries were already speaking out against extremism. It was "very, very hard" for Western countries to counteract radical religious ideology, he added. However, "the West can certainly be supportive in trying to create better mechanisms of policing... and also in terms of being able to address some of the underlying issues which cause group grievances". The report only includes data until the end of 2013. Mr Killelea said: "I don't want to predict the outcome for 2014, but it's certainly hard to imagine things being any better." However, the report stresses that while terrorism is on the increase, it is important to keep the numbers in context.

Male behaviour Just 0.1% of the women aged 16-74 surveyed had paid for sex, but 11% of the men said they had at some point in their lives.

Male behaviour Just 0.1% of the women aged 16-74 surveyed had paid for sex, but 11% of the men said they had at some point in their lives. Of the 6,108 men surveyed, 3.6% had paid for sex in the past five years and 1.1% in the past year. The men who had paid for sex had, on average, more than double the number of sexual partners - 32 compared with 14. Lead researcher Dr Cath Mercer told the BBC: "I think I was most surprised that it is not paid partners making up most of the total, but they are having more partners generally. "These men tend to be highly sexually active." But that comes with a price. The men who had paid for sex in the past five years were twice as likely to be diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) such as HIV, syphilis or gonorrhoea. Holiday sex The most likely age group to have recently paid for sex were those in their late 20s and early 30s. Other characteristics of those likely to pay for sex included being single, having a managerial or professional job and drug use. Dr Mercer said the findings broke the stereotype of the "lonely older man" paying for sex. Nearly two-thirds of them reported paying for sex abroad, with Europe and Asia being major destinations. "It could be down to opportunistic reasons such as a lads' weekend away, paid-for sex is available, it's something they wouldn't necessarily do at home, but in that situation it happens, but there are other reasons as well," said Dr Mercer. "What we do in the UK won't stop men paying for sex, we may push them abroad even more." She said sexual health clinics needed to see paying for sex as a warning sign of other risky behaviour for spreading infections, such as having multiple partners. Sexual health charity FPA's director of health and wellbeing Natika Halil said: "This study shows that men who have paid for sex are disproportionately affected by STIs, and it's vital we reinforce 'prevention over cure' sexual health messages. "We heard from many men over the years that had paid for sex abroad and returned to Britain in a panic because they didn't know if they had an STI. "The best way to avoid this is to keep a supply of condoms with you, and if you do have sex make sure you use them. If you know you have taken a risk, it's important to get tested as soon as possible."
