Main Crime Location
Detention Approximately three or four months after the liberation of Phnom Penh city, I was imprisoned in Chy Nith village, Chy Nith commune, Kampong Svay district, Kampong Thom province. District militants and “base� people came to arrest me. I remember that Pheap, a female base comrade, was one of the people who received orders from the cooperative level to come arrest me. I did not recognize the other district militants who accompanied her. At the time of the arrest, I was living in Khmakk Chas village, Salavisay commune, Prasat Balangkdistrict, Kampong Thom province. The Khmer Rouge security police accused me of being involved in a traitorous network, because my three brothers, Chieb Lao, Chieb Eat, and Chieb Uch, were former Lon Nol soldiers. Ninety-five days after being detained, I was released. I have no idea why they released me. They interrogated me three to five times a month, asking me over and over again about the supposed traitorous network and the number of times I met up with my brothers. I had neither met up with my brothers nor been involved in a traitorous network. They beat me with a stick and sometimes even strangled my neck using string. This torture caused me pain and suffering to the point that I could not do heavy work. During the detention, I met lots of other prisoners: possibly up to one thousand fellow detainees. Three other people, Saing, Kuon, and Kien (deceased), were released together with me. Saing and Kuon are my siblings and currently live in Etkoma village, Kampongsvay commune, Kampongsvay district, Kampong Thom.
Others Crime
The death of my mother, Uk Sao. During my detention, my mother was evacuated to Porporkanlaungkranhh, Stung district, Kampong Thom province. Due to malnutrition and depression resulting from my detention, she lost her life there. After being evacuated to Porporkanlaungkranhh, she lived with her sons-in-law, Hem Hou and Nuon Khatt. My brother-in-law told me that my mother died a year after the evacuation. The Khmer Rouge decided to move my mother because her three children used to serve as Lon Nol soldiers. A commune chief was responsible for this relocation. The death of my 3 brothers: Chieb Lao, Chiet Eat, and Chieb Uch. About a month after the liberation of Phnom Penh, my brothers, Chieb Lao and Chieb Eat, were taken to be killed in Chramas village, Sambour commune, Prasat Sambour district, Kampong Thom province. A base person named Leng and district militants came to arrest my brothers and subsequently killed them at a detention center in Chramas village. Accused of being Lon Nol soldiers, they were both killed on the same day. At this time, a district militant informed me of their deaths. A village chief named Sun had called my brothers to come to his house and then killed them there. Another brother, Chieb Uch, was executed in Siem Reap after the liberation of Phnom Penh in 1975. I received this news from Ta Tob (deceased), who had served as a soldier alongside my brother. Chieb Uch was killed because he had been a soldier.
