Kaing Guek Eav, also known as Comrade Duch, was one of the leaders in the communist party in Cambodia during the late 1970s. Duch allegedly commanded the Khmer Rouge prison, Phnom Penh S-21. While the communist group held power between 1975 and 1979, approximately 16,000 men, women and children were tortured prior to being put to death.
On February 17, 2009, a UN-assisted Cambodia genocide tribunal began against the 66-year-old for crimes against humanity and war crimes.BBC: First Khmer Rouge trial date set (January 19, 2009)
He admitted more than 100 of his fellow prison personnel were "arrested, tortured and executed for minor offenses". The first of five senior Khmer Rouge leader to face trial, Duch broke down in tears during the trial on June 15, 2009, saying, "Betraying friends, yes, I did. That was beyond cowardly."Washington Post: Alleged Khmer Rouge torturer cries in court (June 15, 2009)
