Straight from the killing fields and the Red Khmer S.21 prison. The prisoners of S.21 had to endure untold sufferings before being sent for execution at the killing fields. 86 mass graves have already been exhumed, where skeletons were found, many headless and without clothes. In the trees, loud speakers hung, playing the music of the agonizing people’s screams. After execution, the emaciated bodies were thrown from the .8 x 2.0 m cells into the mass grave at Choeung Ek. The narrow paths you step on are covered with the remains of clothes and teeth.
S.21 Toture Cells
Cambodia is at a crossroads between corruption and strengthening of the rich at the detriment of the poor, and a new generation of intellectual elite who may overcome this gap initiated by the Red Khmer peasant state. The ironic cries of children playing in a school by the killing fields gives hope that the latter will prevail.
