Defence Team Suspect 004 at ECCC: Continuing failure to provide access to case file threatens fair trial rights

The Office of Co-Investigating Judges (OCIJ) at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) continues to deny the Defence team of a Named Suspect in case 004 access to the case file. The case file contains details of the investigations carried out by the OCIJ. Access to this information is vital to protect the Suspect’s fair trial rights and ensure the proper administration of justice.

The suspect in Case 004 is represented by Göran Sluiter.
