Summary / Abstract :
Before going to various sites, we met Mr. Touch Meng Hor, who told us about Neak Ta Svay site. Mr. Hor is a deputy chief of the agriculture office of Stung district now. He told us that the security office and prison of Neak Ta Svay was built around the 1970s. He was in the prison in 1974 and was released between the end of 1974 and early of 1975. In Neak Ta Svay, there were small prisons. All sorts of prisoners were handcuffed. The prisoner allegedly seriously guilty was put to a standing position in a tiny cell all day. They could not move because the cell was too small. There were a great many prisoners. They forced to work hard; if they wanted to kill someone, they singled out from the queue and then killed. All prisoners were killed except for 3 prisoners who were still alive today. Mr. Touch Meng Hor, our witness is one of the 3 prisoners who survived the Khmer Rouge regime.We went down to Stung district along 50 kilometers road. Security was good. However, the difficulty was road for 2 sites as they were very far. The roads to the sites were cart lanes, and security was not stable. We were able to reach and take photographs of only 2 sites: 1) prison, and 2) execution site. Bones of victims were kept at the prison with good care. The bones can be in a good condition for long time. There were a lot of people killed at the sites. The security has been better since 1997 up to now (July 1998), Before 1997 the security was very complicated. There are mine lands being demined by CMAC. As the result, we succeeded in conducting field research only two sites, but if we did not go we would have no information about this. We intend to go down to the site we did not yet go, but we have to wait for years. The places will be accessible when there is stability; real peace, no Khmer Rouge soldiers and all mines have been demined.
