Interview with Nguyen Ky, 74.
Interviewer:
Please tell us the events... Please go ahead.
Nguyen Ky:
When the Americans arrested me, they tied a rope around my neck along with others. Five to seven persons were tied together with me. They are all dead now. After they arrested me and tied a rope around my neck, they gave me a shovel and led me away.
When I reach the spot, they told me to dig. I dug and when I reached the body they told me to pull it up and leave it there and go on digging again. Again, I was told to pull the corpse up and leave it on the side there.
Interviewer:
Do you have anything more to tell us?
Nguyen Ky:
This was what I saw and this was what I was told to do. I had to pull the corpses out and leave them exposed there. By this time the corpses had all become quite putrid.
Interviewer:
When the Americans forced you to dig the bodies up, did they do something with the bodies or did they just leave them there?
Nguyen Ky:
They just forced me to dig up the bodies and leave them there.
