Appellants at Cambodia’s war crimes tribunal say the former jailer ‘showed no remorse.’
Prosecutors at Cambodia’s UN-backed war crimes tribunal have demanded a life sentence for convicted former Khmer Rouge prison warden Duch, saying he showed no remorse for his role in the slaughter of thousands of his compatriots.
Duch, 68, whose real name is Kaing Guek Eav, was sentenced by the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) to 30 years in prison last July for crimes against humanity, torture, and premeditated murder as overseer of the notorious Tuol Sleng torture prison in the late 1970s.
On the second day of a three-day appeal process, the prosecution on Tuesday requested the ECCC’s Supreme Court judges to order that Duch be locked up for life.
