Nuon Chea, October 19, 2011. Cambodia’s strongman premier Hun Sen on
Tuesday denied accusations by rights campaigners that his government has
obstructed progress in a landmark Khmer Rouge war crimes trial.
“The power is in the hands of the court. Whether the process is slow or
fast is up to the court, not me,” Hun Sen said in a speech on a
national radio, urging the UN-backed tribunal to move more quickly.
His remarks follow calls from donors, rights groups, the UN and the
United States to speed up the trial of the remaining two defendants
accused of genocide, after the death of a third suspect last week.
