Cambodia urged not to meddle in Khmer Rouge trial

The Gulf Times

AFP/Phnom Penh- The UN yesterday “strongly urged” the Cambodian government not to meddle in the work of a UN-backed Khmer Rouge court after a judge quit citing political opposition to two new cases.
“The legal counsel strongly urged the government of Cambodia to refrain from statements opposing the progress of cases 003 and 004 and to refrain from interfering in any way whatsoever with the judicial process,” said UN under-secretary general for legal affairs Patricia O’Brien.
The high-ranking UN official was speaking after meeting Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sok An in the capital Phnom Penh amid mounting concern over political pressure on the tribunal.
