Cheoung Ek (The Killing Fields Memorial)


Mass graves and a stupa in remembrance to the people who died during the Pol Pot regime. It is estimated that over 17 000 people were buried at this site after having been tortured and murdered at the notorious 'Toul Sleng Prison'. Some of the remains of these people have been unearthed and have been put on display in the stupa present at the site.
