Odd to find this article in a Thai newspaper, and nothing on the front pages of the EL Cambodian news.

Not sure why this suits the powers that be. Ideas ?

At Choeung Ek, some 15 km (9 miles) from the Cambodian capital, heavy rains to this day wash fragments of bone and scraps of the victims' clothing from mass graves.
A tower of skulls and bones stands at the centre of a memorial to an era in which hardly any Cambodian family was spared losses.

The Day of Remembrance, once known as the "Day of Hatred", is usually held on May 20 but was brought forward this year due to local election campaigning...
