PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Some 600 protesters marched in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh on Tuesday to call for speedier trials for the former leaders of the Khmer Rouge.

A long-delayed, United Nations-backed tribunal is seeking accountability for atrocities during the Khmer Rouge’s 1975-79 rule, under which an estimated 1.7 million people died from starvation, disease, overwork and execution.

The marchers, including students and Buddhist monks, walked 3 miles to the tribunal’s office on Phnom Penh’s outskirts.
