Same same, but he same

The judges having reduced access even more for photographers to today’s first hearing at the Pretrial Chambers of the ECCC for IENG Tirith, Minister of Social Affairs during the Khmer Rouge Regime, all images from the tribunal entering History are more and more standardized. Only the feed provided by the tribunal itself will remain.

Cambodia, Khmer Rouge, John Vink

Judges are  there to judge. Sure… In the case of the Khmer Rouge Tribunal they are also writing history by feeding our memories. Too bad they are not aware enough of the power of visual memory…

I updated my website with a new set of pictures in the Khmer Rouge Trial story here
