Kaing Guek Eave Hearing
Wednesday, September 23, 2009
Phnom Penh: Kaing Guek Eave, alias Duch, was the chief of Tuol Sleng Prison during Pol Pot Regime from 1975 to 1979. He was arrested by military court on 10 May 1999 and on 30 July 2007 he was sent to continually detain at the Extraordinary Camber in the Court of Cambodia (ECCC); therefore, the suspect Duch was held from 10 May 1999 to 30 July 2007 without any hearing- equals eight years six months and 10 days. Because of the long-illegal detention, detainee Duch was against the provisional detention order, so on 20 November 2007 the ECCC decided to have the hearing.
