PHNOM PENH - Jailed Khmer Rouge leader Ieng Sary is in the hospital in serious condition, his lawyers said Wednesday, renewing fears that he and two other aging defendants may not see their atrocity crimes trial through to the end.
Ieng Sary, 87, the former foreign affairs minister of the regime, was sent sent to the hospital Monday and has seen his health degenerate in recent days, defense lawyer Ang Udom told VOA Khmer.
He is unable to eat without vomiting and will be reduced to a liquid diet, Ang Udom said.
“His situation seems to have degenerated,” he said.
International defense lawyer Micheal Karnavas told VOA Khmer by e-mail that Ieng Sary remains in “guarded condition.”
Tribunal spokesman Neth Pheaktra said the court is awaiting an official diagnosis from the hospital.
Ieng Sary’s hospitalization raises new concerns about the health of all three defendants, including former ideologue Nuon Chea and former head of state Khieu Samphan. A fourth, Ieng Thirith, has already been released on house arrest, found mentally incompetent to stand trial.
The UN-backed court is meanwhile struggling with funding and saw its entire translation section walkout earlier this week to demand salaries that have gone unpaid since December.

It does not matter GUILTY or NOT IENG SARY , NUON CHEA and KHIEU SAMPHAN are behind bars .
I remember IENG SRAY and KHIEU SAMPHAN took testimony they did not point their bloody fingers to other nations they just said SAMDECH SIHANOUK must be summoned to take a testimony as well .
A Survivor of Our Own Killing Fields
It's ridiculous to see the mass killers who have been taken care of in compare to
million of Khmers at the old ages who most of the time stay confined in their homes
anyway . While the Khmer Rouge Cadres are provided with good meal , free 1st
class medical care , million of their victims are living in precarious lives : they cannot afford even a basic medical care , they have to work hard everyday for their foods , sometime they still go to bed hungry . Sihanouk who was the Khmer Rouge
maker was gone , UN failed to bring him to testify , why should the court waste
more money to keep the three Mao's stooges there .
