tuol sleng, phnom penh, cambodia

tuol sleng, also known as s-21 (security prison 21) was formerly tuol svay high school. it was taken over by Pol Pot and his security forces and turned into this torture centre, the largest in the country. more than 17,000 people held here were later taken to the choeung ek extermination camp to be brutally massacred. mostly bludgeoned to death, so as to save precious ammunition. these are just some of the many many mugshots.
