The Supreme Court Chamber of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) on August 19 concluded its four-day appeal hearing for former Khmer Rouge head of state Khieu Samphan, with a verdict expected in the next six months.

 

Samphan was sentenced in 2018 to life in prison for crimes against humanity, genocide against ethnic Vietnamese and war crimes when the Khmer Rouge regime ruled Cambodia from April 17, 1975, to January 6, 1979.

 

During the four-day hearing, the defence and prosecution presented their arguments with co-prosecutors and civil party lawyers agreeing that the Trial Chamber ruling in 2018 was correct and requested the Supreme Court Chamber to annul the appeal.
