Torture:
In 1976, I served as a messenger for the Sery Saing commune chief named Pring. I worked at offices (mostly prisons), Krasaing Cooperative, and Kbel, because the elderly chief named Pring was in charge of these areas. Pring tortured prisoners who were brought from the village at about seven p.m., mostly people who defected from their mobile work unit. The house of an elderly woman named Seng, located in Krasaing Kha Village, was the security center where prisoners were detained and tortured. The interrogation place, Ampil Baraing tree [a kind of tree], was about a hundred meters to the east of the security center. I knew that interrogations were carried out to discover information about people who had been soldiers under the Lon Nol regime. The security men (unknown names) would interrogate those who did not answer, and they would be beaten until they became unconscious or possibly until they died. Because of hatred of the old regime, new people (depositees) were abused because they were considered unreliable and suspicious. After the interrogation, prisoners were executed at the school named Krasaing Ka. I witnessed incidents when prisoners screamed while being beaten to death. The following morning, I walked toward the school at Krasaing Ka, through the former ghost forest. It was approximately one hundred and fifty meters from the national road. I became terrified as I looked upon that place. I saw four pits, three bamboo sticks, which were about a meter long and the width of an arm, broken into pieces. There were three people in one pit and four others not fully buried in the other two pits. They did not dig a hole deep enough to bury the bodies. To my knowledge, Tren, the cooperative chief, ordered the killing. If the killing took place in the communal office that was located in Kbel Village (Damrei Saing Commune), the people in charge were Prich, the commune chief, and Chan, the deputy chief. Pring was a combatant chief of Damrei Saing Commune. At night, I served as a messenger, delivering letters to the district chief (unknown name). During the day, I either went to the office or stayed at home. When I saw Pring arrest three people (unknown names), I became terrified and informed Pring not to beat them anymore. Pring said I should watch him beat them some more. Terrified, I no longer trusted Pring, and the job of commune chief then began to change – Chakk replaced Pring, and Sok was the deputy chief in 1977. Because they were traitors, they were relieved of duty. Prech was taken to be executed, but Pring did not die. I do not know why only Prech was executed, and not Pring. I served as a messenger for Chakk, the Damrei Saing Commune Chief, delivering letters only during the nighttime, based on the saying, “A messenger is brave and fears nothing.� |
