Plea for clemency: Comrade Duch during his trial (Reuters: Chor Sokunthea)By Zoe Daniel in Phnom Penh
ABC News Online
The first defendant in Cambodia's Khmer Rouge war crimes trials has made a final plea for clemency as lawyers wind up the case against him.
Comrade Duch has admitted his crimes and apologised to the Cambodian people in the interests of national reconciliation.
But prosecutors say he has only partly confessed and they want him jailed for 40 years.
Duch has listened intently, took notes and occasionally shook his head as the case against him was summarised over more than two days.
