PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) - Prosecutors for the international tribunal examining the 1970s Cambodian genocide submitted a list Wednesday of Khmer Rouge leaders they recommend stand trial.
A statement from the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia said there were five suspects, but did not name them. Judges will evaluate the evidence and decide on indictments.
Some 1.7 million people died from hunger, disease, overwork and execution during the communist Khmer Rouge's 1975-79 rule. Prosecutors submitted evidence including thousands of pages of documentation and the locations of more than 40 mass graves.
