"Cambodia has condemned images published by Vice media group that featured victims of the Khmer Rouge genocide, colourised and with some apparently edited to add smiles to their faces."
"In the interview with Vice, now removed, Loughrey said he began working on photographs from Tuol Sleng when he was contacted by someone in Cambodia who wanted three photographs – including one ID photo taken inside the prison – to be restored."
While there are those who bemoaned the end of Vice Media, perhaps we could do with fewer edgy shock articles like this. How did he even come to their attention, what relevance does he have, why did they feel they should cover this in particular.
And you have to think about how racist it is, they would never dare do that with pictures of the Holocaust. It's only entertainment at the expense of the people in Cambodia.
