The prosecutors’ office of the Khmer Rough Tribunal (KRT) reported it has nearly finished an investigation into Case 002, paving the way for a trial.
The investigation will take in evidence from 19 provinces.
Reach Sambath, KRT spokesman, said that the investigations were made at the July 18, 2007 request of prosecutors. “The investigation of Case 002 will be end at the end of this year,” he said at a press conference on Thursday.
The KRT has now adopted internal measures limiting the time permitted for filing complaints.
According to the internal measure amendment, if anyone wishes to be as original filing complaints, such as Deum Bon Deung Roth Bavei Ny, must request by letter within 15 days after co-prosecutors finish their investigations. The co-prosecutors have filed charges against former Khmer Rouge leaders Khieu Samphan, Nuon Chea, Ieng Sary, and Ieng Thirith for crimes committed between April 17, 1975 and January 6, 1979.
“Even though the investigation is nearly finished, the trial date of Case 002 has not been confirmed yet,” Reach Sambath confirmed.
