S-21
S-21 was a prison camp located in
Phnom Penh,
Cambodia, used by the
Khmer Rouge from its rise to power in
1975 to its fall in
1979. Located in Tuol Sleng, it was formerly a high school but was converted into a center for detention, torture and interrogation of prisoners. It was headed by the notorious
Khang Khek Leu (aka Duch), who worked closely with Khmer Rouge leader
Pol Pot.
S-21 is currently a museum and memorial.
