Khieu Samphan’s role during the Democratic Kampuchea (DK) period was the focus of the January 31, 2013 “document hearing” in the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). During today’s hearing, the Office of the Co-Prosecutors (OCP) — which is frequently one of the only parties to take up the opportunity to present documents at such hearings — put forward a wide range of documents concerning Mr. Samphan.
In a continuation of a presentation it had begun on January 30, the OCP, through a series of documents including historical videos, media articles, Ministry of Commerce articles and Mr. Samphan’s own writing, sought to paint a picture of Mr. Samphan as a senior leader of the Khmer Rouge aware of CPK policies.
During the DK, Mr. Samphan was alleged to have been the principal contact with the recently late King Father Norodom Sihanouk. In explaining this role, the OCP today showed several videos featuring interviews with a charismatic and sprightly Sihanouk. These were particularly poignant given that the ECCC will now be closed for a few days while Cambodia carries out the final funerary processes for the late King Father, culminating in his cremation on Monday, February 4, 2013.

Cross-Currents: East Asian History and Culture Review
INTRODUCTION
Hou Yuon (1930–1975), a founding member of the Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK), became a Communist during his studies in 1950s Paris, where he read and engaged with Marxist works to frame solutions to Cambodia's underdevelopment. A onetime Parti Communiste Français (PCF) cell member and mentor to Cambodian students, Hou was a highly influential Marxist political analyst, leftist teacher, and politician who was instrumental in garnering support for the CPK and helped conceptualize some of its early policies. An anonymous member of his Paris cohort stated in an interview that if Pol Pot had followed Hou Yuon instead of having him killed, then "it would not have been like this. … Yuon allowed the use of money; he opposed the evacuation; and he only wanted to have exchange labor groups and not to have cooperatives in the countryside" (Chea 2000). But to date, scholars have largely dismissed Hou's role in framing Democratic Kampuchea (DK, 1975–1979).
One position holds that Hou and other Paris-educated Cambodian intellectuals were "nonentities" until the late 1960s—"more Vietnamese than the Vietnamese when it came to Cambodia"—and that their popularity "was exploited by the Communists to give their movement
