tuol sleng museum - day 1


looks like an ordinary high school?
well, yeah... it was one.
now known as the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, the Khmer Rouge converted the previously Tuol Svay Prey High School into a torture prison & interrogation centre during its reign between 1975 - 1979

used to shackle prisoners by the ankles: each long bar can fit around 3 - 4 prisoners



approximately 2x1 m cells
the windows were kept shut & prisoners were not allowed to talk to each other
