Chum Mey feels the survivors have been denied justiceBBC News
For the first time at an international criminal tribunal, victims of Cambodia's notorious Khmer Rouge regime have been represented as well as the defence and prosecutors.
But as the BBC's Guy De Launey reports from Phnom Penh, the survivors are not happy with the experience.
"I lost my family," says Chum Mey.
"They killed my children and my wife. Nobody had rights or freedom then. That's why now I want to find justice - for the victims and the younger generation."
Despite his horrific story, Chum Mey does not have the air of a man who went through hell.
Now a sprightly 78, he seems many years younger, chuckles easily and speaks eloquently about his unenviable life.
