lawyers, the prosecutor investigating the case requested that representatives from RCTV Memoria be present during the trial. Thanks to RCTV Memoria’s intervention, the trial was monitored by NGOs (RCTV Memoria and the Moldovan Institute for Human Rights) and by journalists. Taking into account the complexity of the case and the inappropriate behaviour shown by the defendants and their lawyers, the case was examined by a panel of three judges. RCTV Memoria’s legal advisor attended three hearings, while RCTV Memoria’s psychotherapist attended four court sessions. The psychotherapist was called as an expert and also monitored Christopher’s health and mental state during the proceedings. The defence team tried to delay the proceedings and hearings were frequently postponed.

Meanwhile, the perpetrators are free and still working in the police force. Christopher’s disappointment at the delays to the court hearings and lack of justice affects his health, which continues to worsen. He and his family also feel intimidated by the perpetrators. During the last two years, Christopher has continued to receive psychological assistance, because of depression and other trauma consequences.

In addition, TPO Cambodia provides an example (see page 55) of how it collaborated with the Khmer Rouge International Tribunal.
