Kaing Guech Iev, the former Tuol Sleng jail warden, is currently asking for a Chinese defense lawyer to replace Francois Roux, his French defense lawyer whom he asked to be removed at the end of last week. This was what Kar Savuth, his Cambodian defense lawyer, said on Saturday. In an interview with Radio France Internationale, Kar Savuth said that his client wanted a Chinese defense lawyer after the court will announce his verdict on 26 July. Kar Savuth said that: “The reason that Ta (Grandpa) Duch wants a Chinese lawyer is because China is a communist country and under the Pol Pot regime, it was also a communist country. Therefore, he wants a communist lawyer to come and work on a communist case. He does not want a lawyer from the west to judge on a communist man, it is the opposite of one another.” Kar Savuth declared that the nomination of a foreign lawyer to replace Francois Roux must be done after the announcement of Duch’s verdict on 26 July, and in the event there will be no Chinese lawyer for his client, Duch will not accept any foreign lawyer.

Ah Duch,
Ah Choy Maray!
Aing Kah Pi Bark Mes?
Duch is completely foulished to think that a communist Chinese lawyer will save him from sentencing him for his crimes against humanity. Indeed the present modern Chinese, none of them will support this evil at all. Every Chinese in China is happy to live ina more democratic society and they hated the gang of 4 whose have destroyed their Nation and their people for so many years under their secret leadership of Qang Qing.

gosh just throw this devil in jail he executed millions, why give him a fair trail?
It does not make any difference. Two and half million Khmer died without due process of the law. Duch had his lawyers and the international community has spent millions of dollar just to prosecute a few killers that the whole country know already. It's a waste of time and money to prosecute Duch. What the international court needs to do is to prosecute Sihanouk, Hun Sen, Heng Samrin, Chea Sim in addition to Khiev Somphan, Ieng Sary, and Ieng Thirit. These are real Khmer killers who takes order from ah Chen and Youn. These are brailess leaders. Poor Khmer innocents. No justice for them when they died.

Comrade Duch, you are very fortunate to have some lawyers representing you even though you were the killer. All the victims you had slaughters did not have a chance to say word in front of the Tribunal judges. You should be happy for what you have got as of today.
