柬埔寨通过法案,将拒斥红色高棉暴行定为犯罪,判处最高五年监禁。 Cambodia passes bill criminalizing denial of Khmer Rouge atrocities, facing up to five years in prison.

柬埔寨立法者一致通过了一项法案,将否认红色高棉在1970年代犯下的包括种族灭绝在内的暴行定为犯罪。 Cambodia's lawmakers have unanimously passed a bill criminalizing the denial of atrocities committed by the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s, including genocide. 如果参议院和国王批准,违法者可能会面临长达5年的监禁和2 500美元至125 000美元的罚款。 If approved by the Senate and the King, violators could face up to five years in prison and fines from $2,500 to $125,000. 此举的目的是在红色高棉掌权50周年前两个月纪念受害者并防止今后发生暴行。 This move aims to honor victims and prevent future atrocities, coming two months before the 50th anniversary of the Khmer Rouge's rise to power.
