PHNOM PENH (AFP) - Cambodia's war crimes court on Thursday transferred the Khmer Rouge's torturer-in-chief to a public prison to serve out his life sentence for the slaughter of some 15,000 people, officials said.

Kaing Guek Eav, a former maths teacher better known as Duch, was convicted last year of overseeing the extermination of thousands of men, women and children at a notorious torture jail in Phnom Penh.

He was taken from detention at the purpose-built UN-backed court - where he has been held since 2007 - to a local prison in southern Kandal province, according to a court statement.

"Duch is being held in a separate cell from other prisoners" for his own safety, Kuy Bun Sorn, director general of the General Department of Prisons, told AFP.

The US were well returned to Cambodia the Cambodian convicted criminally in the US.
Therefore, Kaing Guek Eav this Chinese immigrant is no longer worthy to wear Cambodian nationality. He must be deprived of his Cambodian nationality and must be returned to China in his ancestors Hans few days before his death.

7:02 PM,

Your comment is confusing.

There are former hidden face of Yuon/Vietnamese secret agents among Khmer Rouges uniforms.

Question for you is "WHY IS THE VIETNAMESE/YUON STILL TAKING AND ENCROACHING LAND OF CAMBODIA AND TOOK KOH TRAL [Phu Qoc "Vietnaemse name"]?

It showed the sign and real proof that Yuon/Vietnamese Hanoi bastards control Yuon/Vietnamese dog Hun Sen and forced him to give island and land to Vietnam including leasing and do the business in the messy and corrupted ways. Can you see that? So, don't blame China. Blame Yuon/Vietnamese first.

Don't be fooled that Yuon/Vietnamese tried to rescue your life or everyone in Cambodia.

It is all bullshit and has been more than 30 years under the secret and dirt plan of evil Yuon/Vietnamese bastards and bitches in Hanoi. Yes, you and other gullible Khmer folks think that Vietnamese/Yuon folks are very nice, but they are evil and having murderous mindsets behind Khmer people who do not notice. Just watch out. We also watch out the real Chinese folks as well.

Just take a look at what those evil Yuon/Vietnamese crooks and cronies in CPP have done to destroyed Cambodia and hurt Cambodian people.

Duch has been converted to Christianity for over a decade now.
Let’s see if Jesus will help him in Prey Sar.
But so far, Jesus, Buddha and Allah have helped a non Christian, non Buddhist and non Muslim named Hun Sen.
The world is not fair, isn't it?
