Former Khmer Rouge jailer asks for 'harshest' punishment
The chief of the Khmer Rouge’s main torture centre, being tried by a UN-backed tribunal on genocide charges, today asked the Cambodian people to give him “the harshest punishment”.
The statement from Kaing Guek Eav, who headed the notorious S-21 prison in Phnom Penh, came as a widow wept before the court, demanding justice for the death of her husband and four children during the Khmer Rouge reign of terror.
