Escaped Execution.

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. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

An East Texas man has published a book on his harrowing time as a prisoner of a brutal totalitarian regime in southeast Asia: The Khmer Rouge of Cambodia.

Sok escaped within minutes of his execution.

"I said this is your opportunity, you have to run. I can see the bullets hit behind me, in front of me, to side of me. If I don't get hit I will survive," says Sok.

He hid in the Cambodian hills for months before escaping to America, and his message is to cherish freedom.

“I found freedoms here. A place that allows us to have a new life, and this is a land of opportunity. I love this country,” Sophanna says.

Escaped Execution can be found on Amazon and at Barnes and Noble book stores
