Main Crime Location

About five months after 17 April 1975, the Khmer Rouge cadres in Siem Reap Commune of Kandal Stung District arrested and detained me in Sang Prison, Tonle Bati [Bati River], by telling me that they needed my help to carry a long piece of bamboo which was used for climbing sugar palm trees. Along with me, the Khmer Rouge took one of my blacksmith team members, Tev Ton, as well as four other people whom I had never met before. When we reached the area north of Sang Tonle Bati, the Khmer Rouge soldiers pointed their guns at us, ordering us to raise our hands and turn to face them. They then ordered all of us to lie down facing the ground and they restrained us by pressing a foot on our back. Then they tied our hands behind our backs. After that, they ordered us to stand in line and they frisked us for tobacco, lighters and other valuable objects. Next, they told us to walk straight to Sang Tonle Bati. A Khmer Rouge soldier named Yav kicked us before putting us in a cell and shackling our legs. Seven days later, Yav released Tev Ton and me from the cell because our blacksmith skills were needed inside the prison compound. A month later, the Khmer Rouge soldier took me to the Tonle Bati riverbank nearby in order to inquire about my background. My legs were still shackled and my hands remained tied behind my back. Three other Khmer Rouge cadres also interrogated me at that time. One conducted the interrogation while the other two held a bamboo pole and recorded my biography. They told me that I had to answer what was being asked. First, the Khmer Rouge cadre asked, “Did you join the white Khmer?� I answered, “Yes.� They continued: “What job did they order you to do?� I responded that I did the farming. They asked further, “What is the name of the leader?� I told them he was the Ampeou Prey Commune Chief named Chan. They then laughed. They followed by asking, “What did you do in Phnom Penh? Were you a captain?� I said I was a captain. “How much was your salary?� they asked. “Ten thousand,� I answered. They continued, “What was your commander’s name?� I was silent for a moment before replying that it was In Tam. They said, “You use the name of the head of state as your commander.� After that, the Khmer Rouge returned me to the cell. During the period of my detention, the Khmer Rouge collected my biography three times. Each time, they forced me to sit on the filthy ground, which was infested with ants which bit my whole body. This happened in 1976. Afterward, I was asked to work in the prison as a blacksmith, which I did until 7 January 1979. During that time, I was kicked many times whenever they were dissatisfied with my work. I was often beaten with a stick if I couldn’t catch up with the rest of the prisoners when we were ordered to run to our cell. At mealtime, the Khmer Rouge gave us corn to eat. We were served only two meals a day, lunch and dinner, with a ladle of corn soup per meal. About 5 to 10 inmates died of hunger each day. In 1977, the Khmer Rouge provided only one ladle of watery gruel per meal for the inmates. After that, at least ten people died of hunger each day. As for water, the prisoners were responsible for finding their own water to drink whenever the Khmer Rouge allowed us to work in the rice fields. At the beginning of my detention, the inmates detained nearby me (around 5 people) died from lack of water to drink because the Khmer Rouge didn’t allow them to drink. |
