 16 June 2011

PRESS RELEASE

STATEMENT BY THE INTERNATIONAL CO-PROSECUTOR
REGARDING CASE FILE 004

The International Co-Prosecutor, Andrew Cayley, makes this public statement pursuant to ECCC Internal Rule 54 to ensure that the public is duly informed about ongoing ECCC proceedings in Case 004, taking into consideration the interests of victims and witnesses, the rights of suspects and the requirements of the investigation. 

Yesterday, the International Co-Prosecutor filed a Request for Investigative Action and Supplementary Submission in Case 004.  The Supplementary Submission adds additional crimes to Case 004, including crimes committed against the Khmer Krom population in Takeo and Pursat provinces, based primarily on civil party applications, complaints and other new evidence that the International Co-Prosecutor became aware of subsequent to the original filing of the Case 004 Introductory Submission.  The International Co-Prosecutor will request the Co-Investigating Judges to notify the public and potential civil parties of the specific crime sites that are included in both the Introductory and Supplementary Submissions in Case 004.
