DEAR MR. DIRECTOR OF DC-CAM,
Special thanks for
your five copies of “Searching For The Truth”. Although I am very busy with my
work, I still spend some time reading several articles in the magazine. Every
time I open it, it seems to recall the era of suffering I endured under the Pol
Pot leadership. I arrived at Pochentong Airport on May 23, 1976. My passport was
taken and I myself was sent by bus to Institut Technique Khmè-Soviétique. Some
time later, I was assigned to prepare a re-education camp in Boeng Trabek known
as “B-3”. I was once sent by Angkar to do farming in Ta Lei Village next to
Cheoung Ek and in an area north of Chrang Cham Res. Besides, Angkar asked me to
design a DK map, as they knew I was a Ingénieur des Géomètres. Some of your
articles remind me of the past, because after the 1970 coup, I became a member
of FUNK. I undertook several political sessions with Angkar’s leading cadre when
I lived in Phnom Penh between 1976-1979. In 1982, I was an ambassador and
ambassador-at-large to Latin America and Africa, where I also explained to the
world about the genocide in Cambodia.
Once again, I
would like to thank you for leading my feelings through your magazine’s
articles, which reflect my real life during that time. It seems to have happened
just recently.
Yours
sincerely,
Long Visalo, State
Secretary for Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
