An interview with French Catholic in Cambodia priest Father Francois Ponchaud, who was one of the first people to denounce Khmer Rouge atrocities, at the start of the UN-backed war crimes court.
According to news reports, the court said in mid January that it has concluded its investigation and may begin a second trial by year’s end. A verdict for the first trial, of Kaing Guek Eav, also known as Duch, is expected in coming months.
This video by AFP was posted on YouTube in February last year.
