Cambodian Memorial Sites (Kampong Chhnang Killing Field sites)

These sites stand as testimony to the atrocities carried out by the Khmer Rouge regime between 1975 and 1979. The ensemble identified in the source groups former detention and torture facilities and former execution/burial grounds — specifically the former M‑13 prison, the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (a former security/torture/holding facility turned museum), and the Choeung Ek Genocidal Center (a former mass execution and burial ground now a memorial). Following the fall of the regime, the locations were preserved and memorialized, transformed from centres of repression into places intended for peace, reflection, remembrance and education. The provided source frames these places in historical and commemorative terms and does not record supernatural or folkloric claims. It emphasizes the sites' roles in honoring victims of mass political violence, supporting collective memory in Cambodia, and raising international awareness; the ensemble is recognized and protected as a UNESCO World Heritage inscription. Precise coordinates and site‑by‑site operational details were not supplied in the source.
