In news from Cambodia, a UN-backed tribunal has sentenced a senior Khmer Rouge commander to thirty-five years in prison for committing crimes against humanity. During the trial, Kaing Guek Eav, who is known as Duch, admitted to overseeing the torture and the killing of more than 14,000 people. Some Cambodians have criticized the court process, saying Duch should have been sentenced to life in prison. He could be released from jail in as little as eleven years.
