According to the Guardian, Cambodian authorities condemned images published by the George Soros (pictured above with Bono) funded media group, Vice Media.
The vice published colourised images featuring victims of the Khmer Rouge genocide with some images apparently edited to add smiles to their faces.
Matt Loughrey, described as an Irish artist modified images taken at the notorious Tuol Sleng prison, where thousands of innocent Cambodian people were tortured and interrogated before they were sent on to the killing fields of Choeung Ek.
The images were originally taken in black in white by the jailers as part of their incarceration record keeping.
The doctored images were profiled by Vice on Friday, in an article that has since been removed after outcry from social media users;
