NEWARK, New Jersey - More than 100 people gathered here at Rutgers University on Wednesday evening to watch a 30-minute historical documentary film about the central prison and interrogation center used in the 1970s by the radical Khmer Rouge regime.

The prison, known as ‘’S-21’’ by the Khmer Rouge and as ‘’Tuol Sleng’’ in recent years, is well-documented as a place where extraordinary horrors and abuses took place under the direction of the Khmer Rouge, who ruled Cambodia from 1975-79.

Merely a handful of people who the Khmer Rouge imprisoned there are known to have survived. More than 16,000 perished, many killed by blunt object blows in ‘’killing fields’’ several kilometers away on the outskirts of the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh.

The film includes recent interviews with Him Huy, who was a S-21 guard as a young man and who admitted to brutalizing inmates.

    What have we here?

    Is Anon@6:09AM a Viet suicidal commnando pretending to be Khmer trying to Vietnamize KI-Media now? Or has he consumed too much of that stinky Nuoc Mam (fish sauce) from Koah Trol (Phu Quoc island) the Viet stole from Khmer?

    Does KI-Media Team know about this?

    Noope, Koah Trol used to be KK
    territories long long time ago,
    not Khmer. Now the island belong
    to Yuon. KK lost it because they
    are sooooooo stupid, just like
    they are now.

    KK and Khmer are same. Same until you divide us. Living for almost over 400 years next door to us and you still don't know about your neighbor. That's sad.

    Well, if Vietnam knows its neighbor it would be force to recognize it selfs as thieves, stealing of its neighbors stuff. So its better for Vietnam to not recognize it and say, oh I found this stuff by under your house. Its not yours so I took it.

    disagree, KK and Khmer are NOT the
    same. If they are, they would not
    have burned Cambodia down to the
    ground in the early 70's.

    Moreover, we don't share much of
    the same idea for the last few
    hundred years and that is what
    weaken them and allowed Yuon to
    annexed their land. So, it is
    all KK fault, no one else,
    and don't try to drag Cambodia
    into following losers either
    because we are not as stupid
    as they are, alright?

    10:13 AM. Don't reply to a Yuan Taliban/pro-Yuan 10:29AM. She/he is an idiot and ignorant and is not worth of anyone's time. Khmers are always Khmers. Yuan conspiracy created genocide in Cambodia and framed KK. Yuan are well armed and Yuan who destroyed Cambodia.
    W/O Hun Sen, the Yaun's puppet these Yuan Taliban will have no place to go.
    These primitive Yuan Taliban are junks.

    Yeap, evidentially, this Viet suicidal commando @4:29PM must have been given too much of Phu Quoc Nuoc Mam, thus getting too drunk even before he gets here to carry out his mission to Vietnamize KI-Media...lmao!

    Vietcong Go home!
