A biography of Khieu Samphan (PhD)

Extraordinary Chamber of some of the greatest leaders of the regime of Democratic Kampuchea, try a regime that is accused of killing millions of innocent people in Cambodia is in the process. This is perhaps the most heated issue between the institution of the state to the public in general. But the dominant fact that dim the prospect of justice for the Cambodian people is that a large number of people who do not even know the basic biography of most executives, managers Democratic Kampucheawhere he formed the process of Cambodian and international judges.

Mr. Khieu Samphan, one of the most important leaders of Democratic Kampuchea leaders of many others, due to the room above face extraordinary, but a huge number of cambodian people, old and young, do not make a basic knowledge of this man, this is the fact that I view the cambodian situation for the judges is obviously unconscious. The entire contents of the treaty is completed later reveal KhieuSamphan is on-the-surface biographical details.

I. Childhood

Mr. Khieu Samphan, who is considered the number of his brother five years after Saloth Sar (Pol Pot), Nuon Chea, Ieng Sary and Ta Mok, probably born 27th July 1931 in the province of Svay Rieg's. He is the eldest of the family. His father was a local judge. After a general education requirement in his home town pursued his education at Khieu Samphan Sisowat High School in Phnom Penh. During his time Sisowat or Preah Sisowat High Schoolbelieved to be in the forefront of the school in Cambodia. Only the class Uptown or deserving students would be at this institution.

Khieu Samphan childhood is not known to dramatically, and so far the resources of his childhood is still insufficient and unreliable. But it was better after the government's scholarship for the University of Paris in central Paris, France.

Since childhood, Mr. Khieu Samphan believed to be a "serious andgood-natured "man, to the title, a clean man .. Because of these outstanding personality, was with the government scholarship to continue his studies in Paris, France, to achieve a doctorate in economics, has From here, the University of Paris, which Lenin Max ideologies intellectuals in Cambodia, the last leader of Democratic Kampuchea was added. The story says that the University of Paris have created the majority of Cambodian intellectuals.

Afterto American sources, Mr. Khieu Samphan said one of the best students in his generation. More surprising exceptional students in the generation of Khieu Samphan including HOU Yun, economic and legal control. Mr. Hou Yun (born 1930) was considered amazing person and one other physical and intellectual genius, Mr. Son Sen, the red and educational literature.

II studies in Paris and Dissertations

Mr. Khieu Samphan granted a PhDin Economics from the University of Paris, a world recognized university in a human invention and material and ideological.

Khieu Samphan was elected as one of the key members of the Khmer Student Association in Paris, a doctoral thesis entitled: "Cambodia's Economy and Industrial Development" and has successfully defended this thesis. His doctorate in economics was awarded in 1950.

It may be that short of his doctoral work on one side with national independence.Further analysis in his doctoral work, Khieu Samphan more personality would be understandable. Khieu Samphan has blamed the rich countries that have advanced industrialization, the factors are the poor countries poorer. The main argument was that he supported hi "addiction." So what is the dependency theory?

Dependency theory is the body of social science theories of various intellectuals, both from the Third World and First World War that aworld view that suggests that the rich nations of the world, a peripheral group of poorer countries should be rich.

is integrated dependency theory states that poverty in the countries of the periphery, because they are not integrated in the world, or is not "completely" free-market economists often argue, but because of their integrity in the system.
The premises of dependency theory are:

-Poor nations provide natural resources, cheapLabor, a destination for obsolete technology and markets of rich countries, without which it could not have the standard of living they enjoy.

First world nations actively, but not necessarily aware of perpetuating a state of dependency through various policies and initiatives. This state of dependency is multifaceted, with business, media control, politics, banking and finance, education, sports and all aspects of human resource development.

-Any attempt bydependent nations to resist the influences of dependency involves economic sanctions and / or military invasion and control.

The thesis is believed to be accepted here strictly in the management policy of Democratic Kampuchea. Khieu Samphan is not only the thesis dissertation HOU Yun: Cambodian farmers and their prospects for modernization, it is probably also influence the general policy of Democratic Kampuchea (DK).

Although thesetwo doctoral thesis was danger of the political leadership of Democratic Kampuchea are, but these two people to be the brains of sins during the reign DK be indicted. Yes it can, it could mean their lives should the thesis of millions of Cambodians and do not settle, if the head of Democratic Kampuchea, the work content of the media a scapegoat or two intellectuals exaggerate.

Since the intellectuality of the cambodian people, the study ofUniversity in Paris in 1950, Cambodia has been praised as the first communist country that was led by intellectuals in Asia.
III. Group of Khmer students in Paris (opening of the political ideology)

In 1950, the Cambodian students studying in various universities of Paris, were included to establish their own communist movement and this movement was probably very little with their governments at home. Sun returned to the members of this movementreturned to their countries of origin and took leadership positions in government policy DK, including Khieu Samphan, Pol Pot, Ieng Sary, to name a few. It was from this movement: Khmer Student Association, Khieu Samphan has been converted into a common across the board. The involvement of Cambodian students from the universities of Paris had returned to fight a movement against Lon Nol and Prince Norodom Sihanouk, where they were seen as corrupt and selfish. This movementThese students were then to improve a system, called "Democratic Kampuchea".

IV Political life

Khieu Samphan returned to Cambodia in 1959 with a doctorate in economics from the University of Paris. Soon after his arrival in Cambodia, he accepted a position in law school in Phnom Penh, at the same time, establish a French language magazine entitled, L'Observateur. This magazine heavily on the left side. The purpose if this magazine was on a bettersocial justice and other areas of humanity in Cambodia during that time. But this has never stood by a commitment to social justice in Cambodia. It is obtained by this newspaper popularity Khieu Samphan from the public, especially students. However, this newspaper not long survive, was arrested close after just one year, Khieu Samphan, and was retired to the public by Prince Norodom Sihanouk.

After the coupe, in 1970, Prince Norodom Sihanouk has worked with other KhmerCommunists, including his former enemy, Khieu Samphan, in order to resist the government of Lon Nol. The coalition was Khieu Samphan as deputy prime minister, Minister of National Defence and the Commander in Chief of the coalition government. It had climbed from these political events, Khieu Samphan has leading positions within the Democratic Kampuchea regime.

His political life during the era of Democratic Kampuchea (1975-1978) was difficult to detect becausethat privacy and confidentiality of the implementation strategies of DC were leaders.

Khieu Samphan now lives in his last military fortress surrounded Pailin municipality, the province west of Cambodia, Thailand.

V. students try to talk to former KR leaders Pailin

Retrieved from Cambodia Daily, Friday, August 26, 2005
A group of students to promote the interviews on the villages of the Khmer Rouge regime and dissemination of information onthe national long-awaited unlikely in conversations with the former Khmer Rogue leaders Khieu Samphan and Nuon Chea in Pailin municipality ended their homes last week.

PhD student and Documentation Centre of Cambodia internally Huy Vannak the group organized a planned distribution of documents in Pailin. And despite her fears to bring former Khmer Rogue Literature Court on the main rebel stronghold, the group decided to look for the aging communist leader "their homes.

"I thought, because of security and cooperation that we should not go to the stronghold of the Khmer Rouge," said Huy Vanak Thursday. "I said I should not be afraid of the Khmer Rogue. During the Khmer Rouge regime, they tried to frighten my mother, alarmed at all .... I learned a lot. Tiger no Khmer Rouge. These are the people."

The group went home Khieu Samphan near the east side of the central Pailin, but were initially refused, despite reaping a polite "buddyStudents acid "and assured that they were not journalists.
Khieu Samphan, former head of Democratic Kampuchea was finally tolerated and encouraged them to return later in the afternoon.

Students have continued Brother No 2 Nuon Chea, who lives about 300 meters from the border with Thailand in Brother No. 3 Ieng Sary are surrounded son in-law home, her children and grandchildren.
"The wife [Nuon Chea is] asked us" who you are and where you come from? "Huy Vannak said." Wetold her that we are students and we learn about ant Pailin. He said: "Grandpa is sleeping, but it's ok, you can talk with him."

Nuon Chea said he was speaking in their religion, and denied that religion had been suppressed under the Khmer Rouge.

He said that people were just so busy building the country and therefore could not give alms, the monks were forced to eat.

"I think Mr. Nuon Chea is open, but when he does not respond so well," said group members EanSopheap. "When I asked him questions, he saw other people when he responded."

"I never thought I meet one of the leaders of the Khmer Rouge included Ean Sophea." I was born in 1980. "

The students returned home to Khieu Samphan in the evening. "I feel that Khieu
Samphan is reliable and kind man. He is an intellectual from what I know, "said another member of the 22-year-old student Chheng Koemseng. My parents told me was that Pol Pot's men are very cruel,But when I met face to face. I hear they're only as old as my grandfather. "

However, Huy Vanak was less sympathetic. "The two boys told us only a small chapter of history. We need more answers from them. Why do people who eat less because they have to evacuate people? Why did they kill people? They said they do not know how to kill. How could do not know? "

The students discussed the court with very little aging Khmer Rouge leaders, Khieu butSamphan does not seem to be worried.

"Khieu Samphan Said, when the judge not people be happy, because he is an honest guy and devotes every effort would not have the land and the people happy with the decision of the court," said Huy Vannak.
"I told him that people would almost look [not] if the judge cut him in two million pieces."
