| Khmer Rouge Victims Express Sadness Following Death of Top Leader |
| VOA, 2013-03-14 |
| Ou Virak, a victim of the Khmer Rouge regime and head of the Cambodian Center for Human Rights, said Ieng Sary's death should serve as a "wake-up call" that these cases need to be "expedited urgently."

| Ieng Sary's death was no surprise given his age and ailing health, said Ou Virak, who heads the Cambodian Center for Human Rights. But "given the fact that the other two defendants are also in their 80s, it should act as a wake-up call to all concerned — the Cambodian government, the U.N., the international donors and the tribunal itself — that these cases need to be expedited urgently so that justice can be served." |
