PHNOM PENH, Cambodia – The former chief of the Khmer Rouge's main torture center, being tried by a U.N.-backed tribunal on genocide charges, asked the Cambodian people Wednesday to give him "the harshest punishment."

The statement from Kaing Guek Eav, who headed the notorious S-21 prison in Phnom Penh, came as a widow wept before the court, demanding justice for the death of her husband and four children during the communist regime's reign of terror.

This guy should be taken out into the woods and shot.

Finally Cambodians can start to bring these people to justice for what they have done. Having visited Cambodia several times now it is good to see a war torn country slowly but surely improve.

Hopefully soon, they may do something about the land mines that are still scattered through out the country

Aha. I see what this is. It's like those rich and powerful elite that pay good money to be humilated and beaten by dominatrixes because they feel they deserve it for all the bad deeds they do dominating others the rest of the week.

Well, give him the comfy chair I say.

I think this would be a suitable punishment:

To take a line from 300...

"King Leonidas: You there, Ephialtes. May you live forever. "

I say put him in a cage on public display for the rest of his life, execution is too quick and probably painless, he should be made to suffer. An eye for an eye!
Make him live for as long as possible, force feed if they have to, beat him, spit on him, kick him, do anything, just don't execute him!

As much as we would like this to happen Wiser, he is more likely to be proven guilty and given a quick death.

Does anybody even bother to read the articles anymore? Cambodia has no death penalty, it's likely that he'll receive life in prison.

Also the reason he's asking for the harshest punishment because he himself has changed and acknowledges the fact that what he did was wrong.

Yeah, doesn't anyone care that he is trying to atone for what he has done?

The death penalty, as I've said before, is the first step to genocide. That's why countries that suffered under totalitarian regimes get rid of it. Even most Nazi war criminals get life in prison and not death.
