Today, Phnom Penh City Hall celebrated an annual "Day of Remembrance" to "honor the death of those who lost their lives during the Khmer Rouge regime" at the site where hundreds of thousands of people were brought to be killed, which was known as "Choeung Ek killing field.'' Government officials, monks, students, journalists, and ordinary people joined this ceremony where they offered food to the monks in the belief that the food would be brought to their relatives who died of hunger during the Khmer Rouge regime (1975-1979).

The celebration is celebrated amid the Khmer Rouge tribunal process which is working on its second case to try the most senior leaders of the Khmer Rouge regime. During the ceremony, the Youth Group and Muslim Youth Community leaders of Cambodian People Party made a public request that the Khmer Rouge tribunal speed up its process to successfully try the most five senior leaders of the Khmer Rouge, but that the tribunal quit its work after completing case 002. The 30-minute emotional re-enactment of the Khmer Rouge atrocity reminded more than one thousand audience of what happened during that regime. Audience watched the re-enactment with tears, angers and sadness.
