PHNOM PENH — Cambodia's UN-backed war crimes tribunal on Monday officially set June 27 as the start date for a highly-anticipated trial of four top former Khmer Rouge leaders accused of genocide in the 1970s.
The accused are "Brother Number Two" Nuon Chea, former foreign minister Ieng Sary, his wife and ex-social affairs minister Ieng Thirith, and former head of state Khieu Samphan.
They face charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and related crimes under Cambodian law in connection with the deaths of up to two million people from starvation, overwork and execution between 1975 and 1979.
"The initial hearing will commence on Monday 27 June" and will focus on technical issues and discuss witness and experts lists, the court said in a document posted on its website.
The trial will be the court's second following the landmark July conviction of former Khmer Rouge prison chief Kaing Guek Eav, known as Duch, who was sentenced to 30 years in jail.

Any body know ????
Son San and Son Sen are not related .
They both are Khmer-Krom.
justice for the Khmer victims between 1975-1979 and their family never happen under CPP which is formed by late Ho Chi Minh in 1930. That is why ECCC and CPP so afraid of KR who have been detained speaking out. So the main jobs for ECCC as fellow:
1. Keep detaining the four detainees.
2. NO proper trials. ( not allow the four speaking out )
3. Convict.
4. lives prison.
5. Justice is done, close down the ECCC and proclaim success.
4:00 AM, which justice you are talking about ?
You would not be better than them if court acts like you say

They starved, my family and millions other Khmer.
