Jailed Khmer Rouge prison chief Duch is scheduled to take tribunal judges on a tour of the "killing fields" outside Phnom Penh Tuesday, as part of an investigation of war crimes charges against him.
"He is the key person in the matter of S-21, so if [judges] go to visit those places in order to see the practical situation, they have a right to summon Duch to go along with them," said Hisham Mousar, a tribunal monitor for the rights group Adhoc.
Duch, whose real name is Kaing Khek Iev, 65, is expected to visit the Choeung Ek site, where executed Cambodians where buried in mass graves during the Khmer Rouge regime, on Tuesday and to visit Tuol Sleng prison, where he was chief, on Wednesday.
The tours of Choeung Ek and Tuol Sleng are a regular part of the tribunal system and meant to make matters more clear for the investigating judges.

Welcome Duch tour...
He'll visit the places where many people were killed by him...
Who will celebrate his visit?
what is the purpose of the tour?
Is it for a Hollywood movie? time is running out? This court look suspicious as Duch.
Dear Comrad Duch,
Please bring all Ghosts and Soul along with you to your cell and your inmates'. The Ghosts would question you and your inmates over your reasons to kill.
I heard there were so many Ghosts tour ECCC almost every night. ECCC guards can prove this.
Please don't lie them all.

Come on guys! You are not telling me that you expect a prison chief to treat people like your mum treated you, are ya?
Duch is a criminal. ECCC already presumed that he is fucking guilt!
Why don't we just leave this ailing old man alone, or set him free. We have nothing against this poor gentleman.
shut up>>> Free your fuck?
He is shit!
As far as I know, Duch just did his duty for the Khmer Rouge Party. The ECCC, so far, has not shown any evidence to the contrary. Maybe I missed it. If someone has seen anything, I don't mind learn about it.
