PHNOM PENH, Wednesday 27 October 2010 (AFP) - Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen told visiting UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon Wednesday that a second Khmer Rouge war crimes trial due to start early next year would be the last.
Hun Sen "clearly affirmed that case three is not allowed", Foreign Minister Hor Namhong told reporters after Ban met with the premier.
"We have to think about peace in Cambodia," he said.
In its first trial the UN-backed court in July sentenced former Khmer Rouge prison chief Duch, whose real name is Kaing Guek Eav, to 30 years in jail for overseeing the deaths of 15,000 people in the late 1970s.
