One night after the incarceration of Nuon Chea at the KR Tribunal (KRT) facility, he is fed with sufficient amount of foods that include fish meat, as he likes. He told the KRT cook that in his entire life, he likes to eat fish only. The Kampuchea Thmei newspaper reported that the KRT provides three meals to Nuon Chea per day: in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. All the foods provided to Nuon Chea have high calories content. Reach Sambath, the ECCC spokesman, said that in the average, the cost of Nuon Chea’s foods is about 20,000 riels (~$5), however, should Nuon Chea need other kind of foods, he will be provided then. As for Nuon Chea’s relatives, they can visit him if they make their request.
