    Cambodia: Khmer Rouge Court lets victims down yet again

    Amnesty International expresses its deep disappointment at the decision by the Pre-Trial Chamber of the hybrid Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) to reject an appeal by a victim, Robert Hamill to be recognized as a civil party in Cases 003 and 004.

The decision cannot be appealed further.
