Crime Info
Main Crime Location
In 1976, I worked with Ieng Sary. I was the secretary of Ta Bouk Commune of Ta Veng District. I joined the struggle against Lon Nol, the enemy, supervising villagers to do the farming. Ieng Sary, Son Son, Nuon Chea, Ta Mok, Pol Pot, Vy alias Vong Ya, regional secretary, Sao Phim, Von Vet, and Dom, all worked together. In 1970, [he] welcomed Pol Pot who was arriving from Vietnam. I became the secretary of Ta Veng district. Serving in the economic section, I transported and traded product with the Vietnamese. In 1971, the Khmer Rouge took control of the Northeast Zone. In 1972, the Khmer Rouge accused Kan, the secretary of Region 3 of Ta Veng; Lonh, the secretary of Ta Veng Commune; and Kreng Ut, the unit chief of Ta Veng District combatants. All of them were executed at O Braing, because Lonh had a favorable tendency toward the Vietnamese and had ordered people to welcome the Vietnamese. However, the truth was that Lonh ordered people to take weapons and fight against the Vietnamese. His brother, who had a favorable tendency toward the Vietnamese, was taken to be executed, because he had a connection with Lonh. Lonh’s messenger informed Lonh’s brother that he would be captured and taken to be executed the following morning. However, he and his family defected to Vietnam. Thirty people came searching for him and his family, but could not find them because they hid. His family escaped to Vietnam (Kantuy Neak). During the first month, they had to find food on their own. Then the Vietnamese gave them food. In 1974, Bou Thang, Bun My, and Saey Keo escaped to live with them in Vietnam. In 1978, he was a chief of Yey Pok Commune on the Vietnamese border, where a majority of ethnics from Ta Veng lived. In February 1979, [He] returned to Ratanakiri.
