Description: |
|
This is the best known of the more than 300 "killing fields" in
Cambodia. People from the Tuol Sleng prison were brought here to
be killed. Many thousands of people were killed here between
1975 and 1979.
Research has shown that a total of 1,386,734
people were probably killed by the Khmer Rouge. In addition,
there are hundreds of thousands to millions who perished because
of the consequences of their policies.
Of the 129 mass graves
at Choeung Ek, 49 are left untouched. When it rains, teeth,
bones or parts of clothes still rise to the surface. |
