  • 03 FEBRUARY 2013 - PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA:   Buddhist monks file into the crematorium for the final Buddhist chanting service for former Cambodian King Norodom Sihanouk in the crematorium built for the King's funeral at the National Museum in Phnom Penh. Norodom Sihanouk (31 October 1922 - 15 October 2012) was the King of Cambodia from 1941 to 1955 and again from 1993 to 2004. He was the effective ruler of Cambodia from 1953 to 1970. After his second abdication in 2004, he was given the honorific of "The King-Father of Cambodia." He served as puppet head of state for the Khmer Rouge government in 1975-1976, before going into exile. Sihanouk's actual period of effective rule over Cambodia was from 9 November 1953, when Cambodia gained its independence from France, until 18 March 1970, when General Lon Nol and the National Assembly deposed him. Upon his final abdication in 2004, the Cambodian throne council appointed Norodom Sihamoni, one of Sihanouk's sons, as the new king. Sihanouk died in Beijing, China, where he was receiving medical care, on Oct. 15, 2012. His cremation will take place on Feb. 4, 2013. Over a million people are expected to attend the service.

He was member of the Pheu Thai Party of former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, and a member of the Thai parliament and served as Yingluck's Deputy Prime Minister. The military government that deposed the elected government in May, 2014, charged Apiwan with Lese Majeste for allegedly insulting the Thai Monarchy. Rather than face the charges, Apiwan fled Thailand to the Philippines. He died of a lung infection in the Philippines on Oct. 6. The military government gave his family permission to bring him back to Thailand for the funeral. His cremation was the largest Red Shirt gathering since the coup.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

Apiwan was a prominent Red Shirt leader. He was member of the Pheu Thai Party of former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, and a member of the Thai parliament and served as Yingluck's Deputy Prime Minister. The military government that deposed the elected government in May, 2014, charged Apiwan with Lese Majeste for allegedly insulting the Thai Monarchy. Rather than face the charges, Apiwan fled Thailand to the Philippines. He died of a lung infection in the Philippines on Oct. 6. The military government gave his family permission to bring him back to Thailand for the funeral. His cremation was the largest Red Shirt gathering since the coup.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
