A decision has been delayed until next week over whether a senior member of the Khmer Rouge charged with war crimes in Cambodia will be allowed to go free.
The regime's so-called 'First Lady', Ieng Thirith, was last month deemed unfit to take part in a trial now under way because of dementia.
That ruling was immediately appealed by prosecutors, which left the final decision on whether the 79-year-old should be released unconditionally with the Supreme Court.
The court announced on Tuesday that it's had to delay the decision by a week because of 'unprecedented' legal issues.
Three others, Nuon Chea, Khieu Samphan and Ieng Sary are facing questioning in UN backed tribunal this week.

Ieng Thirith was very powerfull lady in DK time but Ieng Thirith has had severe mental problem .
Both Ieng Thirith and Khieu Samphan are not member of central committeee of CPK but Noun Chea and Ieng Sary are members of central committee of communist Party of Kampuchea.
But Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan will face lives sentences from this Hanoi ECCC in Camobidia for speaking out the truth about yuon killing Khmer.
