Two former Khmer Rouge leaders began appeal hearings on Thursday against landmark convictions for crimes against humanity that saw them handed life sentences by Cambodia's UN-backed court last year.

"Brother Number Two" Nuon Chea, 88, and ex-head of state Khieu Samphan, 83, were the first top leaders to be jailed from a regime responsible for the deaths of up to two million Cambodians from 1975-1979.

But their lawyers quickly appealed, accusing the court of a string of errors and the judges of failing to remain impartial due to their personal experiences under the regime.

The pair sat in court on Thursday when Nuon Chea's lawyers called upon their first witness, as 300 people watched the proceedings from the public gallery.
