Vietnam has repatriated the remains of 49 Cambodian soldiers killed alongside Vietnamese comrades fighting Khmer Rouge.

 

The Ministry of National Defense held a ceremony in the southern border province of Binh Phuoc on Thursday to hand over the remains of Cambodian soldiers who gave their lives ousting the Khmer Rouge.

 

All of remains were from members of Combat Unit 125, formed in Dong Nai Province in 1978 to fight Pot’s ultra-Maoist Khmer Rouge, which began a reign of terror in 1975 that left two million Cambodians dead of starvation, hard labor, torture, and mass executions.
