Looks Like You Got Him Just In Time
BBC - First Khmer Rouge leader charged
An ex-Khmer Rouge prison chief has been charged with crimes against humanity by a UN-backed tribunal in Cambodia.
Kang Kek Ieu, also known as Duch, was in charge of the notorious S21 jail in the country’s capital, Phnom Penh.
He ran S21, a notorious jail where about 1,400 men, women and children were kept, and many of them brutally tortured.
There he is. Thank god he’s been stopped! Well done, UN.

“What movie came?”
“I haven’t checked yet. The envelope’s on the counter.”
“…”
“See it?”
“Yeah, here it is. Ooh!”
“What is it?”
“It’s called la machine de mort– that’s French, isn’t it?”
“Sounds like it. I don’t have my headset on.”
“I’m not sure how to pronounce the rest of it, but it looks like a lovely little film about the ceremonies and rituals of the indigenous Cambodian peoples.”
“Ooh, that does sound nice!”
“Yes, doesn’t it? And thank goodness it’s been made now before that culture is lost forever to capitalism and American consumerist culture!”
“I’ll say!”

“…”
“…”
“Get the ICC Netflix profile.”
“Do you think they’ve seen this movie?”
“I’m going to send a ‘let a friend know’ to them.”
