Former Khmer Rouge deputy premier, Ieng Sary, whose lawyers requested a probe into bias of two tribunal judgesAFP
PHNOM PENH — Cambodia's UN-backed war crimes court has rejected a request by lawyers for a former Khmer Rouge leader to examine two judges at the tribunal for bias, said documents released Tuesday.
Lawyers for former Khmer Rouge foreign minister Ieng Sary last month demanded a public hearing on the independence of Dutch judge Katinka Lahuis and Australian judge Rowan Downing, citing a speech by Cambodian premier Hun Sen.
However the court's pre-trial chamber on Monday ruled the submission was "inadmissible, as well as being devoid of merit and unsupported by evidence".
