Exceptionally, Ka-set was unable last week to publish its daily report on the hearings in Duch’s trial for reasons beyond our control. Please accept our apologies. These reports will be published at a later date on Ka-set’s website. But for now, please enjoy a selection of captured moments from the August 31st to September 2nd week with these photographs by John Vink.
