Cambodia
/ Phnom Penh / Choeung Ek Execution Area
Photo: More than 40,000 compatriots have been killed here by
Khmer Rouge minions.
Choeung
Ek,
a few kilometres south of Phnom Penh, was the execution area,
where Khmer Rouge minions killed more than 40,000 compatriots
and buried them in at least 129 mass graves. At the execution
area, now idyllically located between rice paddies and fruit orchards,
a high glass tower has been erected, containing the skulls
and remains of tens of thousands of victims. The tower is frequently
shown in TV news footage on Cambodia.
