Cambodia's UN-backed war crimes court has charged the Khmer Rouge former social affairs minister with genocide over the regime's slaughter of Vietnamese people and ethnic Cham Muslims.
Ieng Thirith - widely regarded as the most powerful woman in the brutal regime that murdered up to two million Cambodians in the late 1970s - has already been charged with crimes against humanity.
"Today Ieng Thirith has been brought before the court and co-investigating judges informed her that the charges against her have been extended to include genocide, war crimes and national crimes," said court spokesman Reach Sambath on Monday.
