In 1975, Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia systematically murdered approximately 2 million people (one-quarter of the population) over four years, with intellectuals, educated individuals, and those who appeared 'too smart' being specifically targeted for execution; the regime used brutal torture methods at S-21 prison, including hammer executions, and even employed children as young as 10 as executioners to desensitize them to killing.

Wearing Glasses Could Get You Killed in 1975 CambodiaAdded:
In 1975, wearing glasses in Cambodia could get you killed. Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge murdered 2 million people in 4 years. Their crime? Looking too smart.
Soft hands meant you didn't work in fields, death sentence. Speaking French or English, death sentence. At S-21 prison, 14,000 people were tortured before being beaten to death with hammers. Bullets were too expensive.
Children as young as 10 became executioners. The regime wanted them numb to killing. In 4 years, 1/4 of Cambodia's population was dead. The killing fields remain one of history's most systematic genocides.
