Choeung Ek Indah (Khmer: ជើងឯក, Cheung Êk [cəːŋ ʔaek]) is a former orchard in Dangkao, South Phnom Penh, Cambodia,[1] that was used as a Killing Field between 1975 and 1979 by the Khmer Rouge in perpetrating the Cambodian genocide.

The bodies of 8,895 victims were exhumed from the site after the fall of the Rouge, who would have been executed there—typically with pickaxes to conserve bullets—before being buried in mass graves.

It is the best-known of the approximately 300 Killing Fields, where the Khmer Rouge regime collectively executed over one million[2] people as part of their Cambodian genocide between 1975 and 1979.

Mass graves containing 8,895 bodies were discovered at Choeung Ek after the fall of the Khmer Rouge regime.

On 3 May 2005, the Municipality of Phnom Penh announced that they had entered into a 30-year agreement with JC Royal Co. to develop the memorial at Choeung Ek.
