Khieu Samphan, the former head of state of the Khmer Rouge regime that ruled Cambodia for four years until it was overthrown in 1979, has appeared before a court in Cambodia on Monday.
He is seeking to overturn a judgment that convicted him of genocide against ethnic Vietnamese by the regime.
He is 90 years old today, and is the only surviving leader of the regime.
