Need to know: Most of victims who died in the Khmer Rouge regime were Cambodian innocent people that Khmer Rouge had accused even though they didn't have any evidences. If someone who has been accused by Khmer Rouge, he/she had to be punished.
*Consider:
The Khmer Rouge regime, or Democratic Kampuchea, adopted two political programs of the People's Republic of China that had failed to implement:
1. The Great Leap Forward (1958-1962), which killed from 20 to 48 million Chinese people.
2. The Cultural Revolution (The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution: 1966-1976), which killed nearly 20 million Chinese people, including more than 2 million students and intellectuals.
On April 17, 1975, after Khmer Republic had been completely collapsed, Khmer Rouge took power and created a new political program that combined the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, called "The Super Great Leap Forward". This policy killed more than 2 million Cambodians.
At the 2nd of December, 1978, Kampuchean United Front for National Salvation was created by Chea Sim, Heng Samrin, Hun Sen, and other saviors, and supported by Vietnamese government.
Vietnamese government has sent 300,000 armed forces to join Kampuchean United Front for National Salvation.
On January 7, 1979, Kampuchean United Front for National Salvation took over Phnom Penh and created new government named People's Republic of Kampuchea.
