Duch in the Court Room
Wednesday, September 23, 2009
Phnom Penh: Mr. Francois Roux (French) and Mr. Savuth Kar (Cambodian) are Duch’s defence counsel. Hundreds of people participated in the first hearing such as Mr. Sambat Reach (ECCC spokesman), reporters, diplomats, investigators, prosecutors, presiding judges, observers, monks, lawyers, securities, victims, photographers, etc. Ten publics and two journalist representatives were allowed to have access the pre-trial chamber. The long-waited hearing started at 10:45am. Duch wore a white T-shirt; he looked nervous, sad and pitiful.
