Ek Execution Area
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.
