PHNOM PENH — Cambodia's UN-backed war crimes court said on Tuesday it had rejected a request to free ailing former Khmer Rouge leader Ieng Sary from custody ahead of his genocide trial.
Judges said the continued detention of the 85-year-old, who was a foreign minister during the regime's "Killing Fields" era, was necessary to prevent him from fleeing.
One of the few public faces of the secretive movement, Ieng Sary faces charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, in relation to two million deaths from starvation, overwork and executions between 1975-1979.
"The Trial Chamber rejects the accused's request for release," a statement from the court said, adding that "he shall remain in detention until the Chamber's judgment is handed down".
The decision was widely expected because the release of the high-profile suspect would have caused an outcry in Cambodia.
Ieng Sary's defence lawyers argued earlier this month that their client's detention was illegal because his case had not been heard before the end of a court "deadline".
But judges dismissed the argument using a different interpretation of the timeline.
Ieng Sary's trial -- alongside his wife and ex-social affairs minister Ieng Thirith, "Brother Number Two" Nuon Chea and former head of state Khieu Samphan -- will begin on June 27 with an initial hearing, the court said Monday.
All four have now unsuccessfully sought release from custody. They have been held at a purpose-built detention facility near the court since their arrests in 2007.
Their highly-anticipated trial, the tribunal's second, is expected to be long and complex with all four disputing the charges against them.
Aged between 79 and 85, the former regime leaders suffer from various health ailments, fuelling concerns that not all of them will live to see a verdict.
Ieng Sary has been hospitalised several times for a heart condition.
In its landmark first case the court in July sentenced the notorious former prison chief Kaing Guek Eav, better known as Duch, to 30 years in prison. The case is now under appeal.
Led by "Brother Number One" Pol Pot, who died in 1998, the Marxist Khmer Rouge regime emptied cities and abolished money and schools in a bid to create an agrarian utopia.

Mexican Food Shit (also called Screamers)
You'll know it's alright to eat again when your asshole stops burning.

The Toxic Gas Shit
The kind of shit that makes you pass out and fall of the toilet before you finish, and then you wake up in some strange South American town.

When you sit down, and fart for so long and hard that you no longer need to take a shit.
Oh Shit! Shit
You shit so much and wipe your ass so furiously you run out of toilet paper and you say OH SHIT!
The Never Ending Shit
It's the shit that keeps running out of your ass like pea, and just when you start wiping your ass your stomach gargles and splash, more shit runs out. This always happens after eating at Kentucky Fried Chicken.

"ទោសរងទុកទោស ទទួលខុសតែឯកា
ទោសនេះធ្ងន់ណាស់ណា ញាតិកាជួយមិនបាន"។
ខុសតូចខុសធំ ខុសប៉ុនភ្នំ នរណាជួយបាន អ្នកណា
ធ្វើខុសត្រូវទទួលកំហុស។ ដូច្នេះ អៀង សារី បើ
ចៅក្រមរកឃើញថា គាត់មានកំហុស គាត់ត្រូវតែ
ទទួលទោសដែលគាត់ប្រព្រឹត្តខុស។
All Khmer Rouge who have been detained all have serious heal problems as follow:
1. Ieng Sary has had heart condition;
even before in custody.
2 Ieng Thirith has had severe depression even before in custody.
3. Noun Chea has had a stroke , hardly get up or sit down without assistance .
4. Khieu Samphan has had a minor stroke before in custody and severe stroke when he has been in custody as Mr. Reach Sambath but Khieu Samphan survived the stroke.
A lot of trials been going in this ECCC behind closed doors but not many time in public.
Why this ECCC so afraid of the four detainees speaking out.
The main jobs of this ECCC as follow:
1 . Keep detaining.
2 . No proper public trials .
3. Convict the four.
4. Close down the ECCC and proclaim succes ( justice done ) for the Khmer victims and their families between 1975-1979.
Khmer Rouge leaders must go to hell.
The evil deed must get in jail for
life,killing people must punish.
Khmer Rouge or someone commit crime
in Cambodia 15 years in jail or for
life,but other countries hang up,or
inject medicine to kill them.
4:03Am! let hang! or take out ONE eye ball!
