Khmer Rouge Po Chrey Massacre Was Worse Than We Thought

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Khmer Rouge Po Chrey Massacre Was Worse Than We Thought

Post by Jamie_Lambo »

first hand accounts of some of the slaughters that went on at the start of the khmer rouge takeover
they (surrendered soldiers & civilians posing as soldiers) was all tricked into thinking they was off to see the Prince, they were tied up "for the princes saftey" then lead to the fields and all executed

one chilling story one soldier was saying about how he saw his cousin and niece among the people being unloaded for execution and he had to go run and hide in case they saw him and called out to him to which he would have been killed too, must have been hard times


they say the numbers killed there were more like 9-10,000people and not the 3000 that was publicized

Cambodians are famous for their surprise parties.
