PHNOM PENH - LAWYERS for former Khmer Rouge foreign minister Ieng Sary urged Cambodia's UN-backed court on Wednesday to free the elderly war crimes suspect ahead of his genocide trial.
The 85-year-old's defence team argued that his continued detention was illegal because their client's case had not been heard within four months of the issue of the indictment in September, surpassing a court 'deadline'.
One of the few public faces of the secretive regime, Ieng Sary faces charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide over the deaths of up to two million people from starvation, overwork and execution in 1975-1979.
He has been hospitalised several times for a heart condition and blood in his urine since his arrest in 2007.
His lawyers called for his 'immediate release', or that he be confined to his home in Phnom Penh. He is currently being held at a purpose-built detention facility near the court.
'House arrest will ensure his presence for the trial, will ensure that he doesn't flee the country, and would also ensure that no harm comes to him or to others,' argued defence lawyer Michael Karnavas.

8:57pm! even monky smarter than your mother!
Stop blamed khmer each other!..It's foreign country that caused all of these killing in our country...Thailand is one of them!
12: 35 AM . I agree with you.
As a victim myself I understand the pain and the feeling but why ECCC keep detain the 4 detained Khmer Rouge without putting them on trial.
So the problem from ECCC is if ECCC keep detain the 4 Khmer Rouge they ( ECCC ) must put them on trial if ECCC don not put them on trial you must released them this is the international law .
The international law is you can not detain any suspect for over 3 years without putting on trial.
I am sure none of the five Khmer Rouge being detained by this ECCC no one will be released .
In the other justice the Khmer victims and their families never get any justice from this fake ECCC.
My question is why this ECCC so afraid of the 4 Khmer Ruoge being detained speaking out ?
If you want to know that weather ECCC or Khmer Rouge Trials will provide any justice to 1.7 million Khmer victims and their families just look at how CPP is related Indochina Federation formed by late Ho Chi Minh in 1930.
You will see that this ECCC has been playing a game on Cambodians victims.
You will see that why ECCC kept dragging on and on so far only one verdict from Duch.
All of those detained will life sentence without proper trial ( Can talk much during this fake ECCC trials.
To all Dear Khmer ,
Not every single CPP is bad.
Not every single Khmer Viet Minh is bad.
Not every single one in FUNSEPEC is bad.
Not every one in Sam Riansy is perfect.
Not every one in Kem Sokha is perfect.
So do in Pol Pot regime not every single one being detained by ECCC is a killer.
12:30 AM! Stop protecting your asshole son unless you are an asshole like him!
12:30 AM
