Culture Ministry to unearth Khmer Rouge victims

Featured Replies

The Culture and Fine Arts Ministry’s archaeology department will soon catalogue remains of Khmer Rouge victims to be unearthed as it excavates 200 mass graves across the country. The untouched graves are remnants of the genocidal Khmer Rouge that was responsible for the death of about 1.7 million Cambodians between 1975 and 1979.

 

Department head Voeun Vuthy on Tuesday said that his team has so far catalogued the remains of victims at six killing sites since it began work in 2012. The sites include Tuol Sleng and Choeung Ek in Phnom Penh, Kraing Tachan and Pork Prech in Takeo province, Prasat Vordey pagoda in Kampong Cham province and Tuol Taploung in Kampong Thom province.

 

Since 2012, his team has identified about 200,000 victims based on their skeletal remains. “Next month, our team will start to preserve the remains of the victims and compile a list of remains located in Porthivong pagoda in Siem Reap province,” Mr Vuthy said.
