"Phoas" (1930 or 1932 - 1977) was a Cambodian Communist intellectual and
politician who held a number of ministerial posts. His long political
career included spells with the Sangkum regime of Prince Norodom
Sihanouk, the Communist guerrilla resistance, the GRUNK coalition
government-in-exile, and the administration of Democratic Kampuchea,
when the country was controlled by the Communist Party of Kampuchea (the
Khmer Rouge). Nim had a reputation as one of the most independent-minded
and outspoken members of the Khmer Rouge, and was eventually to be
arrested, tortured and executed at Tuol Sleng security prison in 1977
during a Party purge.
