原先的教室變成了一個個狹窄的拷問所, 所有的窗戶都被用鐵條覆蓋並繞上電線以防止犯人逃脫。  DSC_2190  DSC_2191  DSC_2194
The torture system designed to make prisoners confess to whatever crimes their captors charged them with. Although many prisoners died from this kind of abuse. The vast majority of prisoners were innocent of the charges against them and their confessions produced by torture.  DSC_2195
After the interrogation, the prisoner and his/her family were taken to the Choeung Ek extermination centre, fifteen kilometers from Phnom Penh. There, they were killed by being battered with iron bars, pickaxes, machetes and many other makeshift weapons. Victims of the Khmer Rouge were seldom shot as bullets were viewed as too precious for this purpose.
