Kaing Guek Eav, known as Comrade Duch, was Pol Pot's
Chief Torturer in the atheist regime's Cambodian Genocide.

"A war crimes tribunal sentenced the former Khmer Rouge
chief jailer and executioner to 35 years in prison
Monday for overseeing the deaths of thousands of people
during a genocidal rule that devastated a generation
of Cambodians.

It was the first verdict for the country's UN-backed
tribunal, three decades after the Khmer Rouge killed
and estimated 1.7 million Cambodians from starvation,
medical neglect, slave-like working conditions and
execution. The group's top leader, Pol Pot, died in
1998 and four other senior Khmer Rouge leaders are
awaiting trial.

Unlike the other defendants, Comrade Duch (pronounced DOIK)
...is the only major figure of the regime to have expressed
remorse, even offering at one point to face a public
stoning and to allow victims to visit him in jail. But his
surprise request on the final day of the trial to be
acquitted and freed, left many wondering if his
contrition was sincere.

Monday's decision angered many who were hoping for a
more severe sentence.

“I can't accept this,” said Saodi Ouch, 46. She was
weeping so hard she could hardly talk. “My family died
... my older sister, my older brother. I'm the only one left.”

Comrade Duch, who kept meticulous records, was often
present during interrogations at Toul Sleng and signed
off on all the executions. In one memo, a guard asked
him what to do with six boys and three girls accused
of being traitors. “Kill every last one,” he wrote
across the top."

B^D

While on the run, the atheist regimes mad dog killer also
tried to claim he rejected his past of mayhem and murder
and was a new convert to Christianity.. Born Again as if
he thought forgiveness would follow! B^p

"After the Khmer Rouge were forced from power in 1979
after a bloody, four-year reign, Comrade Duch disappeared
for almost two decades, living under various aliases
in northwestern Cambodia, where he had converted to
Christianity. His chance discovery by a British journalist
led to his arrest in May 1999."

" Save me Jesus!" - frightened atheist hypocrite or
genuinely repentent.. the question
of forgiveness is a matter for his
VICTIMS, and their families, the role
of the state is Justice... and clearly
the victims think he has escaped it;
