Toul Sleng museum, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Toul Sleng, once a high school, then taken over by the Khmer Rouge as an interrogation and torture centre to purge Cambodia of intellectuals and perceived dissidents. Now a museum.

The rules of how to behave whilst under detention and interrogation, not to mention while being tortured.

A description of the dreadful setup within each former classroom converted into detention cells.

A detention cell with a torture bed.

Water torture - I know the details as told to me by the guide, but I feel it serves no purpose to describe the method here.

The Khmer Rouge photographed each victim before they were killed. These are the photographs which were retrieved and mounted by post-Khmer Rouge curators of the Toul Sleng museum.

A woman holding her baby while her final photographs are taken. It goes without saying that she and her baby were both brutally slaughtered afterwards.

The famous Toul Sleng museum map of Cambodia (Kampuchea) composed of skulls from victims in the killing fields. This apparition is mounted on a wall within the museum.
