Phnom Penh - On Monday morning a man known to millions as Comrade Duch will sit in a Phnom Penh courtroom and learn his fate.
Watching him in the 500-seat courtroom will be the relatives of some of his 12,000 victims. A number will have come from overseas. Many others in the air-conditioned auditorium will have travelled from across Cambodia.
Millions more are expected to tune in on radios and televisions for the two-hour verdict.
Duch, whose real name is Kaing Guek Eav, headed a prison known as S-21 where thousands of suspected enemies of the Khmer Rouge regime were tortured and then sentenced to death.
