The number of civil party applicants at the Khmer Rouge tribunal has seen a significant spike as the UN-backed court heads toward the trial of the regime’s senior-most leaders, officials said Wednesday.
The number of civil party applications exceeded 3,500 for Case No. 002, while the total number of victim complaints reached 7,200, officials said.
Judges are expected to announce a close to investigations in the second case, which seeks to try Nuon Chea, Khieu Samphan, Ieng Sary, Ieng Thirith and Kaing Kek Iev for atrocity crimes.
Victims have two weeks following the close to file complaints.
