KI Report:
Evidence of Keat Chhon's role as Pol Pot's assistant (1)
There is evidence to prove that Cambodian Finance Minister Keat Chhon was a close assistant to Khmer Rouge top leader Pol Pol. For instance, on 30 November 1975, Keat Chhon sent, in the form of a telegram, a report to Pol Pot about "the withdrawal of people from the East to the North". In his report, Keat Chhon mentioned several districts, especially Chhlaung, in Kratie province, which he is a native of. [There is currently a "Keat Chhon University" in Chhlaung]. Keat Chhon signed his telegram by writing only "Chhon". But Pol Pot had only one close assistant whose given name is "Chhon" and who is a native of Chhlaung district in Kratie province.
In other telegrams from the same period of time, a Khmer Rouge commander is referred to as "Pauk", but the whole name of the notorious commander is Ke Pauk, who was in charge of the Northern region.
