    The concern of civil society organizations on the situation of Borei Keila residents particularly women

    We, Gender and Development Network (GADNet) comprised of 62 member organizations are utterly shocked after having read the news on the Cambodian Daily February 02, 04 and 05 with the photos illustrating an upper-halg body naked woman walking on the road in a desperate and hopeless protest to claim the land where they had lived for long.

    Good and bad at the ECCC as Duch’s prison sentence is extended to life

    The Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR) welcomes the final verdict in the case of Kaing Guek Eav at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) but is concerned by a number of issues arising from the judgement. The Supreme Court Chamber today, 3 February 2012, rejected Kaing Guek Eav, alias Comrade Duch’s, appeal against the jurisdiction of the ECCC to try him on the grounds that he was not a “senior leader” of the Khmer Rouge or one of “those most responsible” for the crimes committed under that regime. Ruling that the crimes committed by Duch were “among the worst in recorded human history” and that the 35 year sentence handed down to him by the Trial Chamber in July 2010 did not “reflect the gravity of the crimes”, the Supreme Court Chamber extended his sentence to life imprisonment.
