Khmer Rouge - 2024 PACE NSC

Question

A refugee from this government known as Queen Monique set off a craze for wearing pink in China. Because this government destroyed almost all cameras, the 2013 documentary The Missing Picture used stop-motion animation. The first man charged by the Extraordinary Chambers (20[1])in the Courts (20[1])for actions taken (20[1])during this government’s reign was Comrade Duch (20[2])(“DOO-ik”). After (20[1])declaring (20[1])a (*) “Year Zero,” (10[9])this (10[1])government (10[11])sent (10[2])New (10[2])People (10[1])to “interrogation centers,” which housed supporters of the exiled king Sihanouk (“see-hah-nook”). This government turned a high school into a notorious death camp (10[1])at S-21, which continued to torture prisoners even as the Vietnamese Army invaded. For 10 points, name this government headed by Pol Pot that ruled Cambodia. (10[2])■END■

ANSWER: Khmer Rouge [or Khmêr Krâhâm; or Democratic Kampuchea; prompt on Cambodian government or Pol Pot administration before mentioned; prompt on the Khmer government] (“Khmer” is sometimes used as shorthand for the Khmer Rouge.)
