Ba Chúc massacre

The Ba Chúc massacre (Vietnamese: Thảm sát Ba Chúc) was the mass killing of 3,157 civilians in Ba Chúc, An Giang province, Vietnam, by the Kampuchea Revolutionary Army (Khmer Rouge) from 18 to 30 April 1978. It was a spillover of the Cambodian genocide which also targeted Vietnamese people mainly in Cambodia. The Khmer Rouge took the local villagers to temples and schools to torture and kill them.
