HorNamhong, survivors say, was the "chief" of returnees at a Phnom Penh political re-education camp known as Boeng Trabek.
HorNamhong in 1999 was the one to deliver the blow to the UN that the government would not allow an international tribunal outside Cambodia, like those for crimes in Rwanda and the Balkans.
But unlike Keat Chhon, HorNamhong was still new to the scene, and loosely associated with the group because of his time in Paris and Havana.
Yet Keat Chhon and HorNamhong chose to remain with the movement and became malevolent, self-serving adherents to Khmer Rouge dogma.
Among the group accompanying the premier is HorNamhong, who weaves down the line with his hand raised in a terse greeting and his face screwed into a tight, deliberate smile.
