 PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) - The top Khmer Rouge suspect awaiting trial before a U.N.-backed genocide tribunal will get cable TV and regular visits from doctors while in detention — amenities out of reach for most impoverished Cambodians.
Former Khmer Rouge ideologist Nuon Chea — who is 82 and in declining health from a stroke — was arrested Wednesday and flown to Phnom Penh, where he was charged with crimes against humanity and war crimes.
Nuon Chea spent his first night in a detention cell at the tribunal headquarters on the outskirts of the capital, tribunal spokesman Reach Sambath said Thursday.
