Ieng Sary Appeal Suspension Denied

Original report from Phnom Penh

Tribunal judges said Friday they were denying a request by Ieng Sary to have an appeals hearing suspended, while lawyers for the former foreign affairs minister say he should receive in-house detention.

Lawyers had requested a suspension of the appeal in order for Ieng Sary to recover in the hospital before proceedings against him proceed.

The courts posted an April 30 ruling on the tribunal Web site Friday, denying any suspension, but they have not yet ruled on house arrest for Ieng Sary, who suffers from heart problems and was hospitalized in March for urinating blood.

Lawyer Ang Udom said he was disappointed in the decision.

Ah Derachharn Ieng Sary and his female antheapeal Ieng Thirith are the most dangerous animals in Cambodia. They should be put in a very strong secure case for public security. If these animals can be loosed out into the forest, they can breed more dangerous animals like in the 60". We cannot underestimate these the impact of these animals can be done to our society and to our Nation. Areak Prey

This is how the International Standard worked.

His lawyers can submit application for suspension on ground of his client well being. The court/judge can decide whether is appropriate in so grating that suspension based on all evidence they have such as medical reports.

If the man is sick he shall be in hospital and not under house arrest.
