this was a torture method used by the Khmer rouge regime. its drowning in air. this method was used to get secrets out of people in order to make the regime more powerful in controlling the people.
the Khmer rouge was kind of sick and twisted .They were in ways of they documented the victims they tortured. Not only that but they liked to keep the heads of the victims the decapitate.
the first selection to work on the farms was either go willingly or you will be shot. or not only that but you had to be in good health or you'd be shot. this is the time the most people died.
huge holes were dug in order to dump all the bodies. In one of the labor farms thousands of bodies were dumped into one ditch.
this is another torture method. the pulling off of fingernails. sometimes they would even cut off the whole finger. the torture would happen in specific rooms to more than one person at a time usually.
these are the work camp in which all people had to work in. pol pot tried to attempt at a classless society so he pretty much made everyone become farmers.
