Khmer Rouge chief jailer gets life

A U.N.-backed tribunal's Supreme Court lengthened the sentence for the Khmer Rouge's chief jailer to life imprisonment Feb. 3 because of his "shocking and heinous" crimes against the Cambodian people. The surprise ruling increased a lower court's 19-year sentence for Kaing Guek Eav, known as Duch. Prosecutors had appealed the sentence as too lenient. Duch was commander of Phnom Penh's top-secret Tuol Sleng prison. He admitted to overseeing the torture of his prisoners before sending them for execution at the "killing fields." (AP)
