“Khem Veasna” was born on December 11, 1965, in Peanea village, Kdueng Reay commune, kanh chreak district, Prey Veng Province, to a farmers family with two children, one son and one daughter. His father was Khem Huot, a dentist. His mother was Sek Heng, also a dentist. When Veasna was eight years old, one night he asked his mother "Mom, Will you die when you're old?" His mother looked at him and said "Yes, I will." so "Where will you be waiting for me?" then Veasna slept and cried for a night.[4] His father died when he was 6 years old before the time of the Pol Pot regime. His mother died just 8 years ago. Khem Veasna's childhood coincides almost entirely with two eras: the first was the time of foreign invasion (1970-1975), and the second was the genocidal regime or the Angkar ( Khmer Rouge Regime), which was backed by foreign countries (1975-1979). The Pol Pot regime fell in 1979, at the time Khem Veasna was 12 years old.....
