Editorial: Tribunal makes mockery of justice

This criminal sentence defies virtually anyone's sense of what is just.

A man accused of taking part in one of the 20th century's worst cases of genocide has been given what amounts to a 19-year prison sentence.

His crime? Oh, he ran a prison in Phnom Penh, Cambodia - known as S-21 - where 14,000 Cambodians were murdered by the Khmer Rouge butchers who ruled Cambodia from 1975 until 1979.

Kaing Guek Eav, known as Duch, has been given credit for 16 years of time served, enabling the tribunal that convicted him to reduce his 35-year prison sentence to just 19 years.

Duch contended he only was following orders while overseeing the torture and murder of his countrymen. He took part in what has been labeled one of the worst cases of mass murder in history. The Khmer Rouge were responsible for eradicating one-fourth of Cambodia's population during its reign of terror; roughly 2 million people lost their lives during that dark time.

The U.N.-backed tribunal should have sent this individual to prison for the rest of his life. But as it stands, he conceivably could be free at the age of 86. Yes, he'll be an old man, but Duch doesn't deserve to be free in any context.

The sentence, understandably, drew shrieks of horror from Cambodians who remember the horror they survived.

Indeed, the horror suffered by Duch's victims at the former Tuol Sleng school in the middle of Phnom Penh defies description. That was the Khmer Rouge way, as the thugs who ran Cambodia hunted down men, women and children and subjected them to unspeakable torture.

Historians ought to note the end of this trial and the sentence it produced as a primary example of just how justice can be miscarried.

Shame belongs to the tribunal.

    How many times do you have to repeat to yourself, I told you not let the horses do it to your big mouth. But... it’s too late.

    “To the original just google kid=Viet agent=GOOG” who talks shit about Khmer.

    GOOG, years ago you were my distant neighbor and I told you several times not to let the horses fucking your big mouth, but you did not listen to me. Now look at what has happened to you; you stutter or repeat in public 2 to 3 and sometime 4 times before you can hear yourself talking. And you think that other people were like you. No kid, you are wrong, we are not messed up like you are, ok.
    Your mouth and hearing are all fucked up. Your brain is functioning at 40% capacity and it keeps on declining…. I don’t want to mention about your sight and sense of smell, they are probably FUBR = fuck up beyond recognition.
    Your breath stings, but I cannot figure out the strange pungent smell. Oh, it ought to be from those horses’ cum. So, do us a favor, just shut your mouth; people can smell it for miles when you are around.
    Can you open your mouth for me; I like to see how many teeth you have left?
    Oh shit there are none left, no wonder people like you to suck their cocks, because your mouth is softer than pussies, but not me, I cannot stand the damn stench. ; )

    What's Hor Namhong trying to do is, he want the whole world to know that he is not a Khmer Rouge and a prison chief of Boeung Trabek prison.

    Hor Namhong is a prison chief of Boeung Trabek prison.
    Source: Phnom Penh Post

    Hor Namhong said to the French judge that he is not a prison chief of Boeung Trabek prison, in fact members of his family was killed by Khmer Rouge(s).

    Hor Namhong can lies all he want, at the end, he got summoned and will get indict, prosecute, convict and sentence.

    Criminals likes to lies.

    The place where criminals lies the most is inside the court room in front of the judge(s).
