During the war between the Khmer Rouge forces and the forces under Marshal Lon Nol’s command, the Khmer Rouge propagandized that their communist regime had high moral standards, in particular they considered sexual violence to be the severest immoral offense and the perpetrators would receive the harshest punishment up to execution. But according to my true personal experience and according to the research of our organization Cambodian Defenders Project, we found out that these statements are all propaganda and lies. In order to show the truth about the communist Khmer Rouge regime, Cambodian Defenders Project conducted studies related to sexual violence under the Khmer Rouge regime. According to this research, a lot of sexual violence happened during the Khmer Rouge regime as under other dictatorial regimes. All testimonies which are given in this book are true stories.

A Khmer Version of the publication is also available.
