Elimination of religion and culture: When the KR captured Phnom Penh in 1975, my family members and I were evacuated from Tbeng Prakiep Village, Kanhcha Commune, Kandieng District, Pursat Province, to Roluos Village, Kanhcha Commune, Kandieng District, Pursat Province. My mother, grandmother Mah, three of my younger brothers, and one younger sister were evacuated. The second relocation was from Roluos Village to Damrei Sa Village, Kandieng District, Pursat Province. There, I was assigned to work in a mobile unit together with about fifty other people. I did not know the name of the unit chief. We were Cham Muslims, but were not allowed to speak our Cham language or practice our religious traditions, including prayer. Moreover, the KR forced me to eat pork, which was against our religious principles. I was threatened when I refused to follow their orders. The female Muslims were forced to have their hair cut short and were not allowed to wear their headscarf, both of which were against Islamic religious practices. If anyone dared to refuse orders, they would be singled out for re-education. I think that the KR wanted to eliminate our religion. |
