Kan Thorl
Mr. KAN Thorl, 57, was a deputy platoon chief at the Trapeang Thma Dam Worksite. He started to work at the dam on February 1977. Prior to that he was part of a mobile unit and was considered as a base person. In his testimony, the witness stated that at the beginning he had 100 people under his responsibility, but this number was reduced up to 70 due to a series of relocations or people that felt sick and were taken to the hospital. KAN stated that the workforce at the dam was composed of 15,000 workers, most of them from sector 15. The witness talked about the living and working conditions at the dam, as well as the reduction of food rations when workers didn’t achieved their daily quotas for removing soil. He also told the Tribunal about the lack of medical treatment for those who fell sick. He also said that he was afraid of being taken away and killed, as he heard from other people at the worksite. According to him, those Vietnamese identified as such during the liberation of PP were taken away and executed.
