Cambodia plans to restore Khmer Rouge site

Issued: 22 August 2003

Cambodia's Tourism Ministry plans to restore the last stronghold of the Khmer Rouge in Anlong Veng into a tourist destination.

The plan is to restore top leaders' houses and construct a museum complex with high-tech video displaying the workings within the Khmer Rouge. Those who were born to former Khmer Rouge members and who are not currently awaiting trial for genocide will be enrolled as tour guides of the site as they could tell "real stories" on the lives of Pol Pot, Tamok and Khmer Rouge soldiers after they drew off the final stronghold in Anlong Veng.

The project is estimated to cost 1 million USD.
