The former head of the Khmer Rouge's Tuol Sleng prison, or S-21, Kang Kek Ieu,
will stay in jail another three years after a military court prosecutor announced
May 6 he has been charged with crimes against humanity. Better known as Duch, he
had been held since May 10, 1999 on genocide charges. The only other former KR leader
in jail, Ta Mok, received a similar extension when his pre-trial detention period
expired in March. Negotiations for a UN-sponsored tribunal collapsed earlier this
year when the UN pulled out.
