'The project aiming to turn Pol Pot’s place of death into a site for healing.'

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Worth a read, there's an interesting map in there of 'The Golden Thread' of Khmer Rouge heritage sites. Not sure what I think of the building shown that might house Pol Pots grave, apart from it could make an amazing school in a slightly different location.

This is a project that the Documentation Center of Cambodia are working in co-operation with.
As development pressure increases in the region, the “golden thread” of the Anlong Veng Trail will not only preserve important historical sites – it will also secure access to nature, biodiversity, recreation and cultural facilities for local people even as cities grow around it.
Anlong Veng was the final stronghold and place of death for Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot. Today, it lacks sites formally commemorating its significance in Cambodian history, but a design firm, along with the Documentation Center of Cambodia, wants to change that
