| Duch was arrested in May 1999 and was later charged by the tribunal for war crimes, crimes against humanity, torture and homicide. |
Phnom Penh Thursday, 23 December 2010
“The public needs to know the final decision on the punishment of Duch.”
The Supreme Court Chamber of the Khmer Rouge tribunal is scheduled to rule on all appeals in the case against torture chief Duch in March 2011, the court announced Thursday.
The chamber must decide on an appeal by prosecutors to lengthen his sentence; an appeal by defense to release him; and an appeal by civil complainants for some kind of public reparation.
Duch was sentenced to a commuted 19 years earlier this year, but prosecutors say this was too lenient for a man accused of overseeing the torture and execution of more than 12,000 people at Tuol Sleng prison. They want a sentence of 45 years.
However, defense lawyers claim Duch was following orders of the regime and shold be released.
Tribunal spokesman Reach Sambath said the chamber had determined a detailed schedule and would begin informing interested parties and the public.
Latt Ky, a tribunal monitor for the rights group Adhoc, said the final decision must be well disseminated.
“The public needs to know the final decision on the punishment of Duch,” he said.
Survivors of the prison and those who lost family there say they want him sentenced for life, said Chum Mey, who lived through his incarceration at Tuol Sleng and has formed a support association for other victims.

Prime minister Hun Sen! your lost your land and sea again, next time Cambodian border next to your home, Heng Somrin he lost his entire home village to Viet already but dare to say nothing, Chea Sim is too weak to say anything except prepare himself for judgement day, where is our belove king please get out from closet and give a big slap on Hun Sen face and say louder "why you gave my land and sea to Viet and punish my people hasss!"?, His majesty the king you can not stay in closet for too long, Cambodian are waiting for you to do something, you have no wife no kid must not afraid to die, you will be our hero king forever.
to be honest....even though this man did such bad deeds, maybe it's time to forgive and move on. So many lives were taken and i understand what my parents had went through and not to say the rest of the CAMBODIANS but everyone deserve a second chance in life. We all don't have much to live for and when we die...we all die alone. For those who hands he's under....may those be in peace and so is this man soul. bless everyone.....
