In parts of Tram Kok, the CPK banned religion and disrobed monks from as early as 1972.1324
By April 1975 this policy was instituted district-wide. One witness, a former monk, recalls
that after April 1975 all monks who had been born in Takeo or Phnom Penh were instructed
to stay at Ang Rakar Pagoda in Tram Kok. CPK cadre later came and told them all to
disrobe.1325 Witnesses recall the destruction of Buddhist statues and the conversion of
monasteries into meeting halls, detention centres, dining halls, pig farms and warehouses.1326
People were not permitted to burn incense.1327 Those monks who had been disrobed were sent
to join the army or made to work.1328 In addition, family members were not allowed to
cremate bodies or hold funeral ceremonies.1329
