Case 002/01

ECCC

English

The proceedings on 17 May 2012 picked up from Pean Khean’s testimony on 2-3 May. The OCP focused their question on meetings and political education sessions conducted by the leaders of the CPK. The Civil Party Lawyers, on the other hand, inquired on his roles prior to the liberation of Phnom Penh in 1975, the situation in Phnom Penh upon his arrival in 1975, and his role in Chraing Chamres.

The Nuon Chea Defense asked the Witness about various matters, including the description of the Revolutionary Flag, his interactions with Nuon Chea, and the arrival of the Vietnamese in Phnom Penh. International counsel for Nuon Chea, Mr. Andrew Ianuzzi, confronted the Witness about certain inconsistencies in his testimony. The Defense Teams for Ieng Sary and Khieu Samphan sought to establish that the Witness’ statements regarding meetings that CPK leaders allegedly attended were based on assumptions, as he never personally attended the same.
