| Photojournalist Ben Phillips was travelling in August 2002 with another journalist in the Kailahun district of Sierra Leone. After a day spent with the Sierra Leone Army (SLA), who were patrolling villages at the Liberian border, his hosts took him to visit an abandoned building. As he entered he saw that there was dried blood on every surface, right up to the ceilings. He was in a 'killing house' used by the RUF rebels during the twelve-year civil war for punishment beatings, trials and executions. He took the photographs in this gallery. | |||
