Ms. CHAO Lang

Ms. Chao Lang, 64, explained that she was in Siem Reap in 1975, but she was advised to go to Phnom Penh to find her parents and hide her biography. Whilst there, the Khmer Rouge took-over and she was separated from her parents. She stated that both of her parents were killed. Ms. Chao Laing stated that she ended up in a mobile unit, through which she ended up at the 1st January worksite. She described taking a day off, and discovering from that her sister, sister’s husband, and their three-year-old child had been killed, because they were in possession of salt, and were accused of being “white Khmer”. She broke down as she told how the “base people” had said that they were chained to an ox cart and dragged around the village. She also described her forced marriage, and that after the regime, she divorced her husband because his in-laws were not satisfied with her.
