A report indicated that Khieu Samphan, the former president of the Democratic Kampuchea regime who was hospitalized 6 days ago, still continue to remain at the Calmette Hospital due to his high blood pressure condition. Reach Sambath, ECCC spokesman, said that Khieu Samphan’s condition has improved, but doctors asked to keep him in the hospital for the time being for follow up. Khieu Samphan’s hospitalization created concerns about the health condition of the former Khmer Rouge leaders among a number of groups. It is feared that the KR leaders’ health condition could affect the progress of justice for Cambodian victims. Youk Chhang, DC-Cam director, told The Mekong Times that if the health conditions of the KR leaders continue to face problems, this could slow down the progress for the search for justice for the victims because of possible delay in the investigation. Dr. Pung Chiv Kek, President of the Licadho human rights organization, said that the general public is concerned about the health condition of the former KR leaders who are now very old, and if their health condition deteriorates, this could affect the progress of the ECCC.
