Phnom Penh - The former foreign minister of Cambodia's genocidal Khmer Rogue regime has had his detention extended for another year ahead of his trial before an international tribunal, national media reported Thursday. Ieng Sary, 82, was arrested with his wife, former Khmer Rogue minister for social action Ieng Thirith, last year amid fears they could flee the country, destroy crucial evidence and incite public unrest.
The Cambodia Daily newspaper quoted co-investigating judge You Bunleng as saying that the conditions of Ieng Sary and Ieng Thirith's detentions would be outlined after this week's three-day Water Festival public holiday.
Ieng Sary is one of five former Khmer Rogue leaders due to be tried before an UN-backed court, which was established in 2006.
The leaders will face trial for their roles in atrocities committed during the Khmer Rogue's 1975 to 1979 reign, in which up to two million people died through execution, starvation or overwork.

Phnom Penh traffic police prepare to hoist a confiscated tuk-tuk onto the back of a police truck Wednesday during a sweep of the capital's riverfront. One man who identified himself as an off-duty cop said the vehicles were being seized because their owners did not pay enough in bribes to the police for being allowed to operate during the busy Water Festival period.
