The loss of my family members Beginning on victory day, April 17, 1975, to 1979, I lost eight family members. On liberation day, April 17, 1975, while we were travelling back to our home village (current address), one of our children, the third child, died along the way of starvation. On liberation day, after deciding to return to our home village, it took my family a month to walk back home. Two or three days after we arrived, my father also died of starvation and exhaustion as a result of walking such a long distance. In April 1976, I learned that my husband had been arrested in the afternoon when he went to climb palm trees. Another palm tree climber told me, that my husband had been arrested. I do not know which “education place my husband was taken to. Ta Kroan, the other palm tree climber, only told me, that my husband had been taken away. I do not know who was responsible for his arrest. They arrested my husband in the Prey Taprech village. I think that he was arrested having been accused of being a former Lon Nol soldier. In 1977, my eighth daughter died from disease and a lack of milk. At the time, I was sent to work far away from my children. And my daughter was sent to live with elderly women. When she became ill, I took her to Kales, a hospital at Tuok Meas. After an injection, she died. I believe my daughter died, because she was not breast-fed, when I was forced to work far away from her. And there was no medicine at the hospital. I do not know whom should be held accountable for her death. |

Forced labor
In 1976, when I was expecting a baby, my eighth child, the Khmer Rouge forced me to work from the moment I found out I was pregnant, almost until the day I gave birth. They forced me to work extremely hard, because I was a new comer. When this incident took place, I lived in this village. At the time, Ta Phan (deceased), was the village chief, and should be held responsible for forcing me to work so extremely hard. All new people (the 17th of April people) were forced to do hard labor. Yey Nhor, who now lives on he Cambodia-Thailand border, knows about this forced labor and can be my witness.
Rape
I was told the Khmer Rouge had arrested and raped a woman named Kay, one of the new people, and then had killed her. One night toward the end of 1976, two or three Khmer Rouge militiamen came to arrest her. I do not know who these Khmer Rouge militiamen were, or why they arrested Kay. I am not certain about where she was rapped and whom should be held accountable for this incident. I believe that Ta Tun, the militiamen chief (deceased), should be held accountable for this incident.
