Case Info
Main Crime Date :
1976
Main Crime Location :
Sa-tha Por Village, Pach Choban Commune, Tbeng Meanchay, Banteay Meanchey Province
Main Crime Details :
Forced labor:

In 1976, from Kadeuk [the 12th month of lunar calendar] to Pisak [the 6th month of lunar calendar], I was forced to build a dike. At that time, I worked with a female vanguard unit, and everyone was supposed to carry three cubic meters of earth for building the dike which was more than one meter in depth.

With regard to transplanting seedlings, each worker was supposed to finish five square meters per day. While assigned to transplant rice seedlings, I lived in Satha Por Village, Pach Choban Commune, Tbeng Meanchay District, Preah Vihear Province. The person in charge of building the dike, digging the canal, and forcing people to do other tasks was Nhuon Khim, a male, who came from the Eastern Zone. His position was a Pach Choban commune chief of Preah Vihear Province. This person was in charge of an elderly man named Tan, who also came from the Eastern Zone and who carried out his orders. Whether these people are alive or dead today is unknown to me.

I do not know why they forced us to endure hard labor. I am not certain about anything else which took place at that time. I only knew that each group had a meeting every three days, while each team had a meeting once a week. The meetings were held to encourage members of the female mobile unit to work hard.
Other Crime :
Family separation:

During April 1976, my brother was arrested and separated from my family. First, they asked him about his background and then had a party . There were eight people at the party.

1. Sum Phon, male, my brother
2. Sok Nann, male,
3. Nann Nat, male
4. Pao Suot, male

Three of the people [Sok Nann, Nann Nat, and Pao Suot] lived together in a village. All four of them have disappeared until today. I do not know the names of the people who called on my brother. All I know is that they were Khmer Rouge cadres. I witnessed the incident because they came to call on my brother before I went to work in the mobile unit. The reason they came for him was to take him to a center in Phnom Penh. The arrest took place in Satha Por Village, Pach-cho Bann Commune, Tbaeng Meanchey District, Preah Vihear Province. I do not know what happened to my brother following his arrest, but he has never been seen since.
