## Bio

Born Lao Kim Lorn on 7 July 1926, he became a Cambodian revolutionary and the principal ideological force behind the Khmer Rouge. He served briefly as acting Prime Minister of Democratic Kampuchea while functioning as Pol Pot's second-in-command during the 1975–1979 genocide. Decades later, in 2014, he was convicted of crimes against humanity alongside Khieu Samphan, another senior leader. A second trial in 2018 added genocide convictions; the Trial Chamber merged these into a single life sentence on 16 November 2018. He died in custody on 4 August 2019, never having left prison.
