A very good idea. A list with all cabins. Two numbers since the cabin takes
2 persons. |
The program for the day. |
In the main prison, a primary school that Pol
Pot and his goons used as a prison, you have this list of behavior in
general and under torture. |
 |

Torture rack for
privileged persons like X-Pol Pot followers. The
memorial plaque outside the prison. |

Our very good,
soft-spoken guide La. His English was very slow, punctuated and clear. Great
guide. Pictures of the victims in the prison.
Their photo was taken just before being shipped out the the killing fields
outside the city. |
 |
 |
Swing used by children
and then as torture instruments by commies. The water kegs were used to
revive the poor prisoners if they fainted during their ordeal. So they could
be tortured some more. Lovely concept communism.
The division of the old primary school. Privileged and non-privileged
prisoners. |
 |
 |
Cells for
non-privileged prisoners. Not the ammo box in the corner that served as
toilet. Commie standard. How commies tortured
their victims, fellow Cambodian. A practical descripion. |

 |
The beam used in the
process. Used to be swings for children. Details
on how the torture was conducted. Still standard in most Muslim countries. |

Our guide La making a
point. The outside walls. |

One of two survivors
still exist today. This is one of them. Commie
torture implements. |

One painting of one of
the misfortunate inmate. Picture of mother and
child before execution. They killed the child first in front of the mother,
then the mother. Courtesy of commie boys of Pol Pot. |
 |
 |
Standard
tie-up, today called the Palestinian position. Used by commies in Cambodia
and muslims all over the world today. Reserved for non-muslims throughout
the world. A memorial bell. |
 |
 |
Pol Pot was
short of ammo. Most of those killed were killed by spades, clubs, axes etc
as seen on this scull. Barbered wire around the
prison. Still kept there as a memorial of the cruelty committed by commie
mad-men like Pol-Pot. It is said that he got an lethal injection by a Thai
doctor. It cost to much to put the bastard through the lega system. Well
doen. |
 |
 |
Off to the
killing fields. The entrance which originally
was a Chinese cementary. |
 |
 |
The route
out to the killing fields. The Cambodian
National Rescue Party. The opposition party. Its leader was arrested just
