PHNOM PENH (AFP) – Cambodia’s UN-backed war crimes court said on Wednesday it had started contempt of court proceedings against Voice of America Khmer for revealing confidential information about a new Khmer Rouge case.
The move comes after the US-funded news service posted an article and video on its website describing prosecution allegations of mass killings and other atrocities by three mid-level cadres during the regime’s 1975-79 rule.
The service cited a document obtained by a source close to the court.
VOA Khmer ‘on 10 August 2011 quoted verbatim from a confidential document… and even showed that document on a video’, said the two judges who are still investigating the claims in the court’s fourth and final case.
