Editorial

As of less than an hour ago the Pre-Trial Chamber (PTC) ordered continued detention of Kaing Guek Iev by throwing out ALL the arguments of the defense. Although this was foreseeable, it is still quite a surprize that none of the arguments of the defense, in whole or in part, were accepted by the Chamber.

The written decision is likely to be appearing on the official website of the ECCC shortly.
