| 2009-04-02 |
| [Straits Times] DEFENCE lawyers on Wednesday demanded that CambodiaŽs war crimes court release the prison chief of the Khmer Rouge regime, a day after he issued a dramatic apology for his brutal past. Duch on Tuesday accepted responsibility for supervising the extermination of around 15,000 people between 1975 and 1979 at the notorious Tuol Sleng prison under the hardline communist movement. "I said I was rilly, rilly sorry for slaughtering 15,000 people. Can I go home now?" |
