Saloth Sar (May 19, 1925 - April 15, 1998), better known as Pol Pot, was the leader of the Cambodian Communist movement known as the Khmer Rouge. Under his reign of Democratic Kampuchea from the years 1976-79 as Prime Minister, an estimated 1.7-2.5 million people - almost a quarter of the population of the country - died.

Pol Pot was tried by a Khmer Rouge tribunal, and sentenced to life imprisonment. This was regarded as only a show trial, and he never faced the international courts for his crimes against humanity. Pol Pot died of natural causes while under house arrest in 1998.

A sad real-life example in which Don Giovanni does seem to get away with it all, in the end.

There are 8 images illustrating the 6 scenes. Pencil, Photoshop, photos.
