According to ECCC Spokesman Neth Pheaktra, the court would convene and hear from witnesses focusing on crimes committed at a dam construction in Srok district in Banteay Meanchey province.
An estimated 15,000 to 20,000 people were forced to work at the dam’s construction from 1978 to 1979. Many of them died of diseases or exhaustion or were executed in the period.
The ECCC is expected to make appeal judgements in the first quarter of 2016.
