A room at Tuol Sleng Prison, a Khmer Rouge facility used for torturing and killing between 14,000 and 17,000 Cambodians, which remains in the state in which it was discovered by the Vietnamese army after they entered Phnom Penh in January 1979. This particular room contains a battery and jumper leads which were used as instruments of torture, and to which 'Rule 6' of the ten Security Regulations of the prison refers: 'While getting lashes or electrification you must not cry at all'. By 1977 Tuol Sleng employed at least 111 wardens, of which 82 were aged between 17 and 21. Known as S-21 and located in the Phnom Penh district of Tuol Sleng, the prison was originally a high school where classrooms were transformed into cells and torture rooms and is now a Genocide Museum.
