Summary / Abstract :
Our research in Battambang province had faced some difficulty due to national political situation, which was especially precarious at this time.
The chief of the district was called to join the meeting in Phnom Penh, which affected our administrative correspondence with him. The district officers we had to work with were not disciplined, often being absent from work or failing to keep appointments. Additionally, May 1st was a public holiday, Labor day, and May 3rd was Saturday.
We arrived in Battambang on May 1st. Therefore, we had little time to carry out the research. We worked only on May 2nd. We are also worried about being able to find the pits, which are becoming increasingly difficult to identify. Many of the bones of the victims have been stolen and burned. Those bones that do remain are stored under conditions that do not promote their preservation. Often, the bones are not properly secured.
We met many witnesses, but not all of their information will be useful to us. Some of our witnesses were imprisoned during the Pol Pot regime. Other were aware of the situation or saw the activities. The breakaway Khmer Rouge cadre will be the best witnesses. If possible, we should look for the chief of a security center and a prison to be our witness.
