The trial of Kim Sen (Kim San) and Meas Minear, human rights workers, began on 8 July 1999, both charged with inciting demonstrators to use violence. All defence withnesses have given evidence, but the majority of prosecution witnesses failed to appear. AI is urging that the charges against these men be dropped as no evidence has been presented against them.
