Cambodia: The stupa-shaped mausoleum (containing the skulls of many innocent Khmers) built in memory of the victims of the Khmer Rouge genocide at the Killing Fields, Choeung Ek, near Phnom Penh

About 12 km (7½ miles) south of Phnom Penh lie the infamous Killing Fields of Choeung Ek. Here victims of the Khmer Rouge, including many from Tuol Sleng, were taken for execution and burial in mass graves. Many of these have now been exhumed, and a stupa-shaped mausoleum has been erected to their memory.
