PHNOM PENH, Thursday 16 September 2010 (AFP) - Cambodia's UN-backed tribunal on Thursday indicted four former Khmer Rouge leaders for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, including the regime's most senior surviving member.
The court has decided to "send forward these four accused for trial", judge You Bunleng said at a press conference, before listing a long series of charges against the former top regime members, including torture, murder and rape.
Nuon Chea, 84, who was known as "Brother Number Two" and served as deputy to Khmer Rouge founder Pol Pot, will face trial in 2011 alongside former foreign minister Ieng Sary, his wife and ex-social affairs minister Ieng Thirith and former head of state Khieu Samphan.
International judge Marcel Lemonde said the investigation into the case, the tribunal's second after the July sentencing of former Khmer Rouge prison chief Duch to 30 years in jail, had taken so long because it was much more complex.
