About Pol Pot
Pol Pot was a totalitarian dictator who killed off almost 25% of Cambodia’s population due to mass executions, starvation, and the working conditions of the forced labor camps.
Legacy
Pol Pot was up there with Adolf Hitler when it came to evil dictatorships. The government forced the people to work in hard-labor camps on farms in the blistering heat. Between 1975-1980 over 2 million people died. Mass gravesites have been found in recent years, some containing the remains of hundreds of thousands of victims of Pol Pot’s brutal regime. In 1978, the Vietnamese army overthrew Pol Pot and Pol Pot disappeared from the public until his death was announced in 1980. It is suspected that it was suicide even though witnesses insist it was a heart attack.
