How perfect that the shot is in black and white.
I had a great feeling of sorrow in seeing this.
What a foul regime.
The barbed wire shadows complete this shot.

If you're interested in this subject, there's a very powerful film you have to watch, "S-21, the khmer rouge killing machine" relating the meeting of survivor painter Vann Nath with his former cell gards 30 years later.
