The U.N.-backed tribunal sentenced the senior member of the Khmer Rouge to 35 years in prison on Monday in its first verdict three decades after the Maoist "Killing Fields" revolution tore Cambodia apart. Duch was found guilty of murder and torture, and crimes against humanity for running Tuol Sleng prison, a converted school that symbolised the horrors of the ultra-communist regime blamed for 1.7 million deaths in 1975-79.

Hong Sa Vath (C), 47, cries in shock after the verdict was heard in the case of former Khmer Rouge cadre Kaing Guek Eav, also known as Duch, at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) on the outskirts of Phnom Penh July 26, 2010. The U.N.-backed tribunal sentenced Duch to 35 years in prison on Monday for his role in the deaths of at least 14,000 people as the Cambodian regime's chief torturer three decades ago. Hong's father was formerly an official at the Japanese embassy in Cambodia, and he died in Tuol Sleng prison, which was run by Duch. Hong felt that Duch should have been given a life sentence.
