Main Crime Details :
|
In early 1975, my younger brother, Nhakk At, was forced to enlist in the army in Kratie region by a cooperative chief of Chang Hap village named Thean. From the moment he left our house, I never heard from him again. In mid 1978, I witnessed two Khmer Rouge security men of Sambo District, named Chhay and An, arrest and imprison people in O Brateal security center (a security center of Sambo District).
During that time, Chhay and An called upon and interrogated one prisoner. Then both of them blindfolded that prisoner with Krama [a traditional Cambodian scarf] in front of a pit five meters square and two meters in depth. They then beat that prisoner with iron bars until he fell into the pit, where he was buried. To my knowledge, the prisoners detained there committed moral offenses, had talked favorably about the Vietnamese, damaged equipment while plowing the fields and fork, and stole rice, potatoes, and bananas. Under the Khmer Rouge regime, from April 17, 1975 to January 06, 1979, the traditions of the ethnic Mil were eliminated. The Khmer Rouge forced people to work day and night and provided only rice soup for nutrition in a communal dining hall. |

Additional information collected on April 20, 2010
Evacuation In late 1974, a commune chief, Ta Chhorn, sent a messenger named My to arrest me and a group of approximately seven to eight youths. They (walked us across the forest) from five a.m. to five p.m. towards Koh Dek Po of Village 2, Koh Khe Commune, Sambo District, Kratie Province. When we arrived there, a unit chief (whose name [I] do not remember) and two people, who grew corn and beans, came to meet us. Then, comrade My (deceased) returned. After living there for five months, a unit chief put me to work growing potatoes and corn from dawn to dusk and made each of my group members, consisting of ten people whose names I do not remember, guard the crops for one hour during nighttime. One day, when I had malaria and coughed terribly, the unit chief sent me by boat to a hospital in Sambo District. When I arrived at the hospital, the hospital chief named Mean asked me about my condition and treated me at seven p.m. that night. I recovered after being hospitalized for a week. In 1975, after curing my disease, Mean asked me about my background, and whether I was upper class or middle class. I responded that I was middle class. Then he asked me whether I could ride a bicycle. I said that I could. After answering that question, I was put to work transporting medicine every day by bicycle from Kratie provincial hospital to a hospital in Sambo District. The distance was approximately thirty kilometers. Once, in 1976, I could not deliver the medicine on time because I had a flat tire and had to sleep along the way that night. When I arrived, comrade Mean warned me that if I could not accomplish the assigned task next time, they would re-educate me. From that moment until the liberation by the Vietnamese in 1979, I tried to work hard and was never late delivering the medicine. |
