CAMBODIAN Deputy Prime Minister Sok An inaugurated a memorial at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum yesterday to remember more than 12,000 people tortured there by the Khmer Rouge.
Buddhist monks chanted prayers at a ceremony at the former secondary school that the Khmer Rouge converted into a prison after taking power in 1975.
Mr Sok was accompanied by representatives from the United Nations and the UN-backed tribunal trying former Khmer Rouge officials.
