In an unexpected turn of events, during what was scheduled to be the weeklong hearing of Expert Witness Philip Short, the staff of the ECCC’s Interpretation and Translation Unit (ITU) announced a work boycott. They explained that they would not provide interpretation until they are paid salaries for the months of December 2012, January 2013, and February 2013. After an hour-long recess, the translators ultimately agreed to offer their services for 20 minutes, during which time the Trial Chamber discussed the health of the Accused Nuon Chea and Ieng Sary.
