Tuol Sleng

The word Tuol Sleng is recognised as the location where the Democratic Kampuchea regime, more commonly known as the Khmer Rouge regime, set up a prison to detain individuals accused of opposing Angkar. However, in the Khmer language, the word Tuol Sleng connotes a terrible meaning in itself. It is perhaps only a strange coincidence that the KR regime used this specific location as a prison. Tuol Sleng means ‘a poisonous hill or a place on a mound to keep those who bear or supply guilt’. From the moment I entered the place, goosebumps was felt heavily. at the entrance you’ll see pictures of the people detained and tortured.   left  to right -  introduction to the Tuol Sleng museum, barbed wires surrounds the wall of the compound, on this site...

Cambodia is a very poor country, most people live in  shacks made of woods and GI....
