Comrade Duch is unhappy? (Photo: Reuters)27 July 2010
Radio New Zealand News
A Khmer Rouge prison boss found guilty of murder, torture and crimes against humanity is likely to appeal against his 35-year jail term.
A United Nations-backed tribunal on Monday jailed Kaing Guek Eav, known as Comrade Duch, in its first verdict on the Killing Fields revolution blamed for 1.7 million deaths in Cambodia three decades ago.
Duch has admitted overseeing the torture and deaths of up to 15,000 people in 1978. However, he will serve only 19 years after the court subtracted 16 years for time already served.
Former New Zealand governor-general Dame Silvia Cartwright was one of two international judges who, along with three Cambodian judges, decided Comrade Duch's fate.
Dame Silvia says one of Duch's lawyers argues that the Extraordinary Chamber of the Courts of Cambodia had no authority to conduct the trial.
Brother of NZ victim wants to meet Duch
New Zealander Rob Hamill says he wants to meet the man responsible for the prison where his brother was tortured and killed.
Kerry Hamill ended up in Duch's notorious Phnom Penh prison after the yacht he was sailing on with two friends strayed into Cambodian waters in 1978.
One of the men was shot immediately, but Mr Hamill and Briton John Dewhirst were tortured and interrogated at the prison for two months before they died.
Rob Hamill says he is waiting to hear if it is possible to meet Duch.

I personally think Cambodian court do better than UN-backed tribunal as far as finding justice for Cambodian victims because all Cambodian judges are victims also. They feel pain and suffering but FOREIGN JUDGES DON'T.
ReplyDeletegood luck, the public is angry even with 19 years. and duch planned to appeal? the public or the juries say "life sentence"! good luck! praise god, duch!
ReplyDelete9.:25 if you fight with some one ever you say other were right? where is the justice to other?????
ReplyDeleteTo 9:25 PM
ReplyDeleteI am 99% disagree with you, because "Cambodian court" or judges are 100% corrupted.
In Cambodia, criminals like Hun Sen, Chea Sim, Heng Samrin, Hor Namhong, Keat Chhon, Ouk Bunchhoeun, Sim Ka, Hok Lundy, Huy Piseth, Phan Sary, Oum Chamnane, Bon Na and Keov Vichet never ever get indict, prosecute, convict and sentence.
We even know their name.
The peoples that got sent to jail is the innocent Khmer peoples like farmers, land owners, journalists and opposition party's members/activists.
