Judges at Cambodia's Khmer Rouge war crimes tribunal suspended proceedings on Monday as the oldest of the three former regime leaders on trial remained in hospital suffering from bronchitis.
Ieng Sary, 86, was rushed to hospital with breathing difficulties on Thursday afternoon. The hearing continued without him until the court, which does not sit on Fridays, adjourned for the weekend.
Ieng Sary is the most frail of the trio in the dock for their roles in the deaths of up to two million people in the late 1970s.
He will be discharged on Tuesday at the earliest, according to a doctor's report read out in court on Monday which said the regime's former foreign minister had 'strong bronchitis, which comes on top of existing cardiovascular issues'.

Radical communist parties as Khmer Rouge are more likely to raise criticism against intelligentsia. In fact, Khmer Rouge killed about 2 million people who were mainly intelligentsia. This genocide still effects Cambodian lives. According to a guidebook about Cambodia, we are to be transported to Thailand or Singapore if we get deadly injured in Cambodia. It is because genocide caused extremely few doctors in Cambodia.
Those who criticize intellectuals should see the failure of Cambodia.
