Nuon Chea’s defense lawyer asked the ECCC to annul the decision to temporarily detain Nuon Chea and to release him immediately from jail under conditions.
Son Arun, Nuon Chea’s defense lawyer, indicated in a 36-page petition to the KR Tribunal that his request was done according to Nuon Chea’s basic rights and according to the law.
The lawyer included in his petition Nuon Chea’s pledge which includes among others: “Nuon Chea will present himself daily to the local police station of the location where he will live. He will not participate in any political activities, he will not maintain contact with all types of media, and he will be present in all legal involvements.”
Nuon Chea is the former second topmost KR leader who is currently detained while waiting for his judgment regarding his involvement in crimes against humanity and war crimes.
