About this Item

150 pp., illustrations, bibliography. The Khmer Rouge security (prison) system was set up at virtually every political level throughout Democratic Kampuchea. This monograph examines the structure of the security system in the regime s Southwest Zone, which was considered a model for the revolution. The chain of Terror examines the links among the systematic arrests, forced confessions, and executions at the Subdistrict, district, region, and zone levels throughout the Southwest Zone. Using extensive primary documentation and interviews with 125 victims and 18 former Southwest Zone security cadres, Mr. Ea established clear connections among the Zone?s security centers (at least 153,000 people died in only 4 of the Zone's 250 security centers.) He also provides evidence to strongly suggest that Khmer Rouge leaders intentionally formulated policies (which were implemented at the lower levels) that led to crimes against humanity. 0.0.
