A woman and her husband were arrested and detained on 16th October for questioning in relations to the brutal beatings and torturing of an 11 year-old domestic helper, reports Deum Ampil.

According to the newspaper, the 11 year-old girl named Sreyneang was an orphan and her grandmother sold her for $500 to 41 year-old Meas Nary and her husband, Var Saroeun, to work as a domestic helper about 7 months ago. Ms. Meas Nary is a teacher at Santhor Mok High School and her husband is a teacher at Western Private School.

The girl, whose body scars were so horrific, claimed that she had been beaten and tortured everyday with sticks and electric chords since she came to live with the family. She also claimed that several times the lady used pliers to twist her flesh, leaving horrible scars.
Meas Nary (L) and Sreyneang (R) were led out of the house by police.

The girls also claimed that she was never let out of the house. But one day, Meas Nary asked her to go and buy porridge/congee at the market and because she looks emaciated, pale and very shaky, the neighbours became suspicious that she migh be abused and they asked questions. She said she was abused and beaten by the house owner. After they checked her body they were so horrified to see horrific scars all over her body. The shoppers then reported the matter to the police. The lady was probably tipped off by some someone and attempted to drive the girl and hide her somewhere but she was intercepted by the police and arrested.

Sreyneang told the police that she was beaten and tortured days and nights by Meas Nary but that her husband never beat her, but he never attempted to stop his wife from beating her either.

Meas Nary told the police that the reasons she beat Sreyneang was because she was very stubborn and never listened to her.

This is one of the reasons why the Khmer Rouge hated so much the rich people and others who lived in Phnom Penh.

What a heartless teacher who should not be a teacher!

As a teacher she should have helped the girl go to school and not treated her as a slave like that.

Dear Khmerization,

Thank you so much for the information posted on your site.

This is a very cruel and sad story of how a young and poor girl had been mistreated by somebody, in this case two teachers, who should have had more compassion and understanding of the poor in Cambodia.

Please kindly post this story on the KI site so that more people can be informed of this story.

Spreading story like this among Camobidians and others will certainly help to put pressures on the Cambodian government to punish those responsible for this kind of crime to the fullest extent of the laws.

Once again, thank you very much for all the hard work you have done.

It is very cruel and inhuman indeed. I agree. As teachers they should look after and send the young girl to school, not beat and torture her. Even if she is a bit stubborn there is no reason to punish her so cruel like this. Meas Nary should be jailed for cruelty, tortures and illegal detention. Her husband should also be jailed for being an accessory to crimes.
