Opposition leader Sam Rainsy participated in a Buddhist commemoration ceremony on 17 April morning at the Choeung Ek Memorial center to pay tribute to the more than 20,000 people who were killed there under the Pol Pot regime. The ceremony included 70 monks and about 2,000 participants. In a speech given during the ceremony, Sam Rainsy said that this religious commemoration is conducted to pay tribute to the more than 20,000 victims who were killed at the Boeng Choeung Ek Lake. Sam Rainsy called on the UN and the International committee to speed up the trial of the KR leaders who are currently being detained, because they are getting older and they could die of natural cause prior to the end of their trial. Sam Rainsy declared that, in the name of the 14 million people of Cambodia, he asked that there is no further delay in this trial. He said that: “We cannot forget this dark historical chapter which started on 17 April 1975, and which led to the killing of more than 2 million people in Cambodia.”

Ah savage killer Xam Rainxy doesn't have a drop of moral in his soul. He exploited even a commemoration for 2 millions victims for his political gain. What could be more evil than that?
