My father and uncle died in prison. [When I met my uncle at the prison] I waved at him to tell him not to say anything. If the Khmer Rouge heard our conversation... If he died, my whole family and I would, too.

Interrogation was conducted during the day and night. Some prisoners were interrogated until dawn, but interrogators had their turns. Prisoners cried in pain when being tortured and their finger nails being pulled out.
