The judges said Cayley had revealed confidential court information.
International tribunal prosecutor Andrew Cayley has filed an official appeal against investigating judges at the UN-backed court, saying they were not within their right to order him to retract portions of a public statement about a controversial case.
Cayley is at odds with judges Siegried Blunk and You Bunleang after he issued a statement this month claiming they needed to further investigate Case 003, which deals with two unnamed Khmer Rouge leaders.
The investigating judges ordered a retraction of the statement, which named sites that needed to be investigated and urged the judges to directly question the two suspects in the case. The judges said Cayley had revealed confidential court information.
In his May 27 appeal against the order, addressed to the Pre-Trial Chmaber of the court, Cayley said the judges were not within their rights to order the retraction and that they had misinterpreted rules of the court pertaining to his right for public disclosures and the need for court confidentiality.
He said the order was an act of censure that interfered with his duties as prosecutor, especially to inform the public of the workings of the court in order to help fulfill a mandate of national reconciliation.
Cases 003 and 004 have come under increased scrutiny since April, when the investigating judges issued a conclusion announcement that victims said did not allow them to fully participate. The sudden conclusion also spread concern that the court was working to close those two cases quickly—both cases that Prime Minister Hun Sen has publicly objected to.
Thun Saray, president of the rights group Adhoc, said Monday the Cayley’s appeal was an important break away from the typical silence surrounding Case 003.
Tribunal spokesman Lars Olsen said the Pre-Trial Chamber was under no time limit to consider Cayley’s appeal.
Meanwhile, tribunal officials announced Monday they had so far accepted more than 300 civil party applicants in Case 003, a sign that the case was in some respects moving forward.

Very Good this is showing them that the animal Communist like CRUEL Minister Hun Sen can't bull shit the rule of laws PLUS CRIME MINISTER used the begging money from the world .Listen to the world or no more money?
Mr. Cayley,
You are a very good and honest man. You have been doing the right things for all of Cambodian people and other foreign victims. Thank you for your brave heart and tremendous efforts.
All we need to do is to destroy the root of Vietcong/Yuon in Cambodia that is a foundation of the stupid Hun Sen. All Khmer people need to tell the world communities and the UN about the Yuon/Vietcong communist leaders in Cambodia or Phnom Penh wh are behind the Hun Sen. Let the UN and International Communities, EU, USA and other powerful countries to put pressure on Vietcong/Yuon Communist leaders in Hanoi and put sanctions against Communist Vietnam or Communist Hanoi bastards and then Hun Sen will be weaken and people of Cambodia including Khmer Krom and Khmer Surin will take the stupid Hun Sen and his CPP members (top ranking officials) and his family down.
Hun Sen is a machine of Communist Hanoi just like a robot machine and he was operated by evil Hanoi Communist leaders.
Now, Khmer people can see what is like in Cambodia today as the crystal clear. The International Communities and the UN including USA, Canada, UK, China, and other countries will begin to look into what Vietnamese Communist leaders doing illegally and brutally in Cambodia in their secret plans to steal or over take everything from Cambodia to evil Communist Vietnam.
Don't worry, Khmer people. Vietnam will face the biggest problems in front of the International Communities, the UN, USA, China, UK, Brazil, Canada, Aussie, and other countries. Communist Vietnamese leaders and its supporters (some people of Vietnam) will confront the massive questions and they (Vietnamese/Yuon) will pay back what they took, multi-billions of dollars for more than three decades using Hun Sen as their puppet along Khmer Rouges (Yuon and Khmer Vietminh like Hor Nam Hong, Sok An, Sok Kong, Yeay Phu, etc). Wait and see in the near future.
It will be a laughable for the stupid country like evil Communist Vietnam whose evil Viet/Yuon leaders in Hanoi will be ashame and embarrassed in the world.
