“We had to temporarily evacuate people in Phnom Penh to wait and see the situation, how Vietnam would act and how the US would interfere, so people would not die.”
Nuon Chea, the former Khmer Rouge leader known as Brother No. 2, told the UN-backed tribunal Tuesday he and Pol Pot had purposely designed the mass exodus of Cambodians from Phnom Penh when the movement came to power in April 1975.
The eviction from the city to work camps in the countryside was the beginning of nearly four years of failed policies and internal strife that led to the deaths of some 1.7 million Cambodians under the regime, but Nuon Chea told the court Tuesday it had been done to protect citizens from US and Vietnamese counter-attack after the movement came to power.
“We had to temporarily evacuate people in Phnom Penh to wait and see the situation, how Vietnam would act and how the US would interfere, so people would not die,” said Nuon Chea, who wore glasses and spoke in an articulate voice.
Nuon Chea is charged with atrocity crimes, including genocide, alongside Khieu Samphan and Ieng Sary, for their roles as leaders of the regime.
When the Khmer Rouge took over Phnom Penh, on April 17, 1975, they began marching people out of the city almost immediately.
Prosecutors at the court said this was the beginning of the mass atrocities of the Khmer Rouge, as people began dying immediately after they were forced to leave their homes.
Nuon Chea said the populace of Phnom Penh was divided up and sent to work in regions for rice cultivation and other agricultural labor.
“They came to work together [with others], ate communally and learned about the cooperative,” Nuon Chea said. “We rendered the people who didn’t know how to work into workers.”
Starvation set in, he said, because of “betrayal” by local powerbrokers.
Ieng Sary refused to answer questions from the court on Tuesday, while Khieu Samphan, in an hour-long statement, said he had been elevated to a powerless position as nominal head of the regime.

the KR evacuation killed thousands of people. not only it displaced people from their homes, etc, people were dying from lack of planning like food, shelter, sanitation, etc, etc... the stupid KR evacuation killed lots of people in addition to their genocide, etc!
this noun chea guy was known as the KR "butcher", and second in command after that wild animal, the late pol pot!
The mass evacuation from the Capital to the countryside was wrong and must be punished.
Since the Khmer Rouge at the time (April 1975) did not have enough manpower to administer the whole country, the Khmer Vietminh, who were created by Vietnam, seized the opportunity to execute Ho Chi Minh's plan. The Khmer Rouge Pol Pot and the Khmer Vietminh were both inside Cambodia during that Killing fields’ time.
In short, the killings during the Pol Pot's era were committed by the Khmer rouge, the Khmer Vietminh, etc.
If the Khmer Rouge created problems, the Khmer Vietminh and Vietnam exacerbated the problems. That is the fact.
That's why millions pf Khmer perished during the Pol Pot's era.
The K5 project in the 80’s, which Pol Pot and Nuon Chea did not involve at all, why so many Khmer people especially men were killed???
Why ?? Why ?? Why??
They should examine the Khmer Vietminh’s hands and Vietnam’s hands too.
Why the puppet government are so apprehensive about case 003, 004, etc... if they are cleaned. WHY?? WHY??? WHY???
Mother fucker is a lier, he event lie to his own mother!
Noun Chea's statement makes no sense whatsoever indicating the stupidity and craziness of the KR top leadership.
I guess he is not a good liar at all! You need to do much better than that if you intend to lie, Noun Chea.
The KR leadership had no concrete and logical planning from day one! They are indeed a bunch of idiots beyond belief.
When being told in Peking by Chou En Lai to slow down with their stupid policy, they boasted that theirs would surely move Cambodia forward much faster than China's. Go figure!
Pissed off
8:58. I believe you have your facts mixed up with Ta Mok aka the "butcher".
Noun Chea being the ideologue intellect probably never spend than a day in the field inspecting and leaving to do his plannings in a office somewhere while the Khmer people suffers
like i said, the stupid KR regime was made up of mostly ignorant people. they were radical and backward kind of society under the primitive KR regime, you know! just ask our khmer survivors, they all can tell you what they saw, what they witnessed, what they all went through, etc, etc... yes, khmer people who lived through and survived the brutal, primitive, stupid, ignorant KR regime can testify and are living eyewitnesses to the KR atrocity or brutality, injustice, etc, etc..., you know!
noun chea, khiev samphan and ieng sary, the three surviving primitive KR leaders are the KR dictators!

I totally agree with your ideas. So this is one of the important message for ECCC to observe the Vietmin's role in Cambodia. Why the current Govt is always try to protect Vietmin???
I personal think that, ECCC must definitely call or escort Ah Sihanouk come to clear up this awful water as soon as possible.
There no anyone or body know clearly about this mass killing more than Ah Sihanouk and Mi Youn Monic.
This is Hanoi-US ECCC in Cambodia Nuon Chea always attacks about yuon deeply involment in genocide between 1975-1979 but nearly 4 years this Hanoi-US have done nothing about yuon such investigation let alone summon.
Shamefull ECCC.
Protecting people of Cambodia from what ?
Noun Chea please explain.
Khmer rouge politicians are very high educated people but can only serve illiterate people.
1:13 AM.
Protection Khmer people from being facing the same fate like:
1. Chmapa gone by yuon .
2. Prey Norkor gone by yuon.
3. Kampuchea-Krom gone by yuon.
4. Lao gone by youn .
5. Cambodia now 7 million illegal yuon immigrants in Cambodia millions and millions on the way to Cambodia and Thailand next it all in our real Khmer history.

What a mess, Ms. Vietgook lady Ms. Soap. You are no different as Vietgook secret agents hiding among Khmer society to quietly kill innocent Khmer people who are very peaceful people who did not like to make wars. You Ms. Soap and your Vietgooks try to kill innocent and peaceful Khmer people who live there where you ugly Vietgook bitch and your illegal Vietgooks living in Cambodian on purpose in order to steal land by your committed evil murderous acts and overtake everything from Cambodia. You Ms. Soap and your Vietgooks are the same as secret Vietgook/Yuon agents hiding among Khmer Rouges Regime that murdered innocent and people Khmer people, trying to accuse Pol Pot, Nuon Chea, and every Khmer Rouges as Killers instead. How clever and smart your Vietgooks and you Vietgook lady (named yourself Ms. Soap) are today. Stop playing the trick and dirty game or plan with Khmer people and foreigners or International Communities. You Vietgook lady and your Vietgooks always think the U.S. to ignore or that the U.S. does not know about your dirty secret plan to wipe out Khmer people and your Vietgooks manipulate the U.S. to hate innocent and peaceful Khmer people with no reason. Your Vietgooks keep fooling the U.S. and Europeans and International communities. We, Khmer people, have a lot of things to say how bad and evil you Vietgook lady and Vietgook folks are in everywhere around the globe.
If something occur badly between Yuon/Vietgook and Khmer people in the U.S., there will be a lot of noise about Vietgook country and folks that are dog eaters and eat everything animals and creatures until they are not existed anymore. Bad Vietgook dog eaters.
Please Khmer people in the U.S. and abroad let's make noise and chant on the street or protest against Vietgook folks like Ms. Soap and her evil Vietgook government in Cambodia and Laos to change and manipulate other foreigners in the blind eyes of International Communities.
Vietgook lady named herself Ms. Soap, tries to spread her dirty and unreliable comments to fool young Khmer, Vietgook children to confuse and be brainwashed to kill Khmer people, believe wrong and rewritten history about Vietgookization. Vietgook culture and language are very ugly and boring. Vietgook copied the ideas of how to make Khmer food everywhere their Vietgook restaurants. For example, fresh spring roll, rice mercelli, all kinds of Khmer food to be Vietgook food.
Please Khmer people make noise about Vietgook and don't wait until the world know how bad Vietgook fooks are because of the manipulation and accusation of this Vietgook Bitch named herself Ms. Soap.
Then the people in the world will stop Vietgook folks and government to kill Khmer people including Laotian people before Vietgook folks and their ugly government to take over the lands and make their ugly and disgusted Vietgookization/Vietnamization.
