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.
