The KR Tribunal (KRT) has summoned the former photographer of the Tuol Sleng (S-21) prison to come to the tribunal to provide clarification on 01 November, so that the tribunal can gather information about the torture performed at the Tuol Sleng prison. RFA reported that Nhem En, the former photographer of the Tuol Sleng prison who currently lives in Anlong Veng, Oddar Meanchey province, recently received a copy of the summon from the KRT investigating judge for the 01 November clarification. Nhem En learnt to become a photographer in China, and he started taking pictures at the Tuol Sleng prison since 1976. He took pictures of prisoners brought in by the Khmer rouge for torturing at the Tuol Sleng prison before they were later killed.
