Observers of the Khmer Rouge Tribunal in Cambodia have described a recent decision to block a woman from being involved as insensitive and outrageous.
The woman, who is not named in the court documents, applied to be a civil party to Case 3, claiming that she suffered psychological damage when her husband was taken to a forced labour camp and later executed.
But the German and Cambodian co-investigating judges ruled her application out, saying they thought her claims of suffering were "highly unlikely to be true".
Presenter: Bill Bainbridge
Speaker: Anne Heindel, legal adviser to the Documentation Centre of Cambodia, or DC-Cam, a non-government organisation that spent years collection evidence for the trial
