A top US senator on Monday hailed the sentencing of a Khmer Rouge prison chief to 30 years in jail for "Killing Fields"-era atrocities as a "historic, if delayed, step forward for Cambodia."
"Today's sentencing helps deliver an important message that we must steadfastly pursue justice for the victims of the world's most horrific crimes," said Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry.
"The conviction of the head of the Khmer Rouge's most infamous prison represents a historic, if delayed, step forward for Cambodia," said Kerry, a close ally of US President Barack Obama.
