Hello Yesterday we where in Phonm Penn and we took in the main sights which were the S21 genocidal musuem and the killing fields. S21, before the Khmer Rouge revolution in 1975, was a high school. After the revolution the school was changed into a prison where people where taken to be "re-educated". In reality they where tortured for days, sometimes even weeks and made to confess to their supposed anti-revolutionary crimes. During the four years of the Khmer Rouge 14000 people where brought here to be re-educated only 12 where not murdered. Most of these people where innocent and where victims of a brutal and paranoid regime. On display in the first block of the museum, were mugshots of the prisoners. Most look upset or beaten, many looked as young as the age of 2. When the Vietnamese defeated the Khmer Rouge, the Cambodian people came to this building and searched these mugshots for news of relatives that had gone missing during the Khmer Rouge's reign. We also saw much evidence of the torture instruments used in the awfully inhumane conditions that prisoners where kept in. The killing fields was a place just out of town. This was a place where the prisoners were taken at night. They would be beaten to death and kicked into mass shallow graves, sometimes they would still be alive and would die in the grave admist hundreds of rotting corpses. On the way back from the Killing fileds our driver informed us that there was a nearby snhooting range. For those not in the know, in Cambodia you can go to firing ranges and shoot off an AK-47, grenades or even rocket launchers, depending on the fatness of your wallet. How anyone could contemplate taking part in this after witnessing evidence of such brutal crimes against humanity was beyond our comprehension. So we declined and continued back into town along on the bumpiest road ever, in the most rickety tuk-tuk ever. Later we cheered ourselves up with a bit of happy pizza and looked forward to moving on to Vietnam the next morning. Laters Dean
