Phnom Penh, Cambodia (AHN) - One of the most notorious executioners of the Khmer Rouge's regime will have the verdict in his war crimes trial issued on July 26. Kaing Guek Eav, whose revolutionary name was Comrade Duch, was in charge of S-21, the regime's main torture and execution center.
“Finally after 30 years, the first leading Khmer Rouge figure has been brought to justice,” said tribunal spokesman Lars Olsen.
“Hopefully this will be a landmark for the Cambodian people who have waited for more than 30 years to see someone brought to justice for the crimes committed by the Khmer Rouge.”
