February 10-13, 2010, DC-Cam invites 100 villagers from Preah Net
Preah commune in Banteay Meanchey province, Sa-Ang Phnom commune in
Kandal province and Svay Chek commune in Svay Rieng province to
Phnom Penh. This invitation is a part of DC-Cam’s Living Documents
project intending to provide a forum for which victims of the Khmer
Rouge atrocities learn about the Khmer Rouge tribunal. Since 2006,
DC-Cam invited about 10,000 villagers, community leaders and members
of the Cham Muslim minority to attend the ECCC hearings and receive
basic training on ECCC’s jurisdiction, procedures and biographies of
persons charged by the court. The selection of the visitors is based
on the relevance of their home villages and community to the Khmer
Rouge history and their connection with the particular Khmer Rouge
leaders. Photos below show people listening to a performance by Prum
Manh in the evening of the second day of their tour. Prum Manh is a
famous Cambodian comedian. |
