Original report from Phnom Penh
30 November 2009
With the trial of Duch closing, Khmer Rouge tribunal investigators are focusing on their second case, but senior government officials have continued their refusal to appear as witnesses.
Summonses for six senior officials have gone unanswered. And investigating judges sent a second summons to Finance Minister Keat Chhon, who was the personal secretary to Pol Pot, in October, that has also not received a reply.
Case No. 2, where four senior leaders will be tried for atrocity crimes, will be more complicated than the Duch trial, the tribunal’s first, which ended last week after months of proceedings and years of preparation.
