Jailed Khmer Rouge leader Khieu Samphan has refused to work with tribunal investigators until the 16,000 pages of documents to be used against him are translated into French, a lawyer confirmed Friday.

The documents are being translated at the behest of infamous French attorney Jacques Verges, who is part of Khieu Samphan's defense team.
