EspañolIENG SARY
'Ieng Sary' (born 1922 or 1925) was a powerful figure in the Khmer Rouge. He was the deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Democratic Kampuchea from 1975 to 1979 and held several senior positions in the Democratic Kampuchea party from 1979 until his defection to the government in 1996.
Of Chinese-Khmer ancestry,[1] Ieng Sary was born in southwestern Vietnam bordering Cambodia and changed his name from the Vietnamese 'Kim Trang' when he joined the Khmer Rouge. He was the brother-in-law of the Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot. Ieng Sary and Pol Pot studied together in Paris. Whilst there, Sary rented an apartment in the Latin Quarter, a hotbed of student radicalism. He and Pol Pot met with French communist intellectuals, and formed their own cell of Cambodian communists. After returning to Cambodia, he was inducted into the Central Committee of the Workers Party of Kampuchea in September 1960.[2]
Cambodian King Norodom Sihanouk officially pardoned Ieng Sary in 1996.
On February 17 2006, Radio Australia carried a report saying that Ieng Sary had been hospitalized in Bangkok, Thailand, after a serious heart attack. A newspaper article on May 28 2006, reported that he "lives in an opulent Phnom Penh villa surrounded by security guards and barbed wire."
