Trial day 33

Mr. Neang Ouch, alias Ta San, 72, a former teacher, told the court he was appointed in 1975 as chief of education of three provinces, including Kampot and Takeo. In 1977 he was transferred by his brother-in -law Ta Mok to Leay Bour commune, where he was appointed as an assistant to the district committee. He disputed claims made by other witnesses that he was the District Secretary of Tram Kok. The witness stated that he was instructed to provide technical assistance in the construction of dams and canals and to show the cooperatives to Swedish and Chinese delegations.

Mr. Nut Nov, 74, from Takeo Province, stated that during the Khmer Rouge regime he was assigned to the Nheang Nhang commune in charge of keeping expenditure and food consumption records.
