S-21

S-21 - Our guide around the notorious Khamer Rouge torture prision S-21 explained how her father, brother and cousins had perished at the hands of the barbaric regime but that she didn't actually know how or where they had died. She had fled to Vietnam with her mother and later returned. What I didn't realise is that relatively high ranking members of regime are still in government to this day, something she found hard to talk about. It seems the UN supported genocide trials have only recently begun as late as 2007. This place was scary - the KR were meticulous record keepers. They took photos before and after torture which were carefully kept with the interrogation notes.
