"The defense of Mr. Khieu Samphan is not possible," exclaimed French attorney Jacques Vergès before reporters, leaving a closed hearing at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) on April 23 in a dramatic flurry.
"This detention is illegal," he added. Vergès is refusing to cooperate with the Khmer Rouge tribunal until the 16,000 pages of evidence against his client, former Khmer Rouge head of state Khieu Samphan, are translated into French.
