Smiling despite his double amputation, a victim of Cambodia's landmine crisis stops his wheelchair outside the front gates to the Tuol Sleng Museum of Genocidal Crime in Phnom Penh. He is one of 35,000 disabled victims of landmines who live in the capital, many of whom are homeless and have to beg to survive. In the background, a vendor has set up his stall beside the gates to the Museum. Tuol Sleng Prison was a high school before being transformed into a Khmer Rouge facility used for torturing and killing between 14,000 and 17,000 'enemies' of the revolution which included former government members, intellectuals, religious groups and in the final years of Khmer Rouge control, fellow Khmer Rouge party members, including the Prison's former torturers.
