CAMBODIA : DARKNESS FALLS

Prisoners who survived torture were blindfolded, pushed onto the back of a truck, and brought to the Killing Fields where they were murdered. This dry cracked earth covers one of the pits where people's bodies were dumped. The Killing Fields have now been privatised in a deal with a Japanese company who now operate the site and collect visitor's fees. The profits go to a fund that is half owned by Cambodian government officials. (Credit Image: © Martyn Aim)
