Yes,under the control of Pol Pot,the Khmer Rouge killed or enslaved doctors and teachers and anyone else who was middle class(bourgiose)or members of the Khmer Bleu and their civilian supporters.Not only were Cambodians killed,but also foreign nationals.This occurred from 1975 until 1978 when the Khmer Rouge entered Vietnam.Vietnam invaded the country and forced the Khmer Rouge deep into the jungle areas,where over time they disbanded.Pol Pot was arrested in the late 1980's and died in prison awaiting trail for war crimes.He was in his mid/late-70s when he died.How many people died under his rule is unclear but thought to be approx.1.7million.Today the population of Cambodia is approx. 13million.
