David Ji
David Longfen Ji is an American businessman who co-founded Apex Digital, an electronics manufacturer.

Changhong accused him of defrauding them through bad checks.
Ji was taken, according to an account by his lawyer, to the senior management and told, "I decide whether you live or die."
He has been held in China without charges.
Ji's case highlighted an "implicit racism" in dealings with American businessmen.
As a U.S. citizen he was not granted the same treatment by authorities as non-ethnically Chinese businessmen sharing the same nationality.
Nuon Chea
Nuon Chea( born Lao Kim Lorn; 7 July 1926 – 4 August 2019), also known as Long Bunruot or Rungloet Laodi, was a Cambodian politician who was the chief ideologist of the Khmer Rouge.
He also briefly served as acting Prime Minister of Democratic Kampuchea.
He was commonly known as" Brother Number Two", as he was second- in- command to Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot, General Secretary of the Party, during the Cambodian genocide of 1975 – 1979.
In 2014, Nuon Chea received a life sentence for crimes against humanity, alongside another top- tier Khmer Rouge leader, Khieu Samphan, and a further trial convicted him of the crime of genocide in 2018.

Yun Yat
Yun Yat( 1934 – 15 June 1997), alias Comrade
At, was the wife of Son Sen, defence minister of Democratic Kampuchea.
On October 9, 1975, the Standing Committee of Communist Party of Kampuchea placed her in charge of information and education inside and outside of the country.
In 1977, she was appointed as information minister after Hu Nim's arrest and execution.
On June 10, 1997 Khieu Samphan( former State Presidium Chairman of Democratic Kampuchea) declared that Yun Yat and Son Sen had been arrested as spies of Hun Sen and Vietnam, and declared as traitors.
Yun Yat, Son Sen and eight of their relatives were executed on June 15, 1997.
Jacques Vergès
Jacques Vergès (5 March 1924 – 15 August 2013) was a Siamese-born French lawyer, writer and political activist who earned fame for his defense of FLN militants during the Algerian War of Independence.
He was imprisoned for his activism in 1960 and temporarily lost his license to officially practice law.
A supporter of the Palestinian fedayeen in the 1960s, he disappeared from 1970 to 1978 without ever explaining his whereabouts during that period.
He had been involved then in legal cases for high-profile defendants charged with terrorism or war crimes, including Nazi Klaus Barbie in 1987, terrorist Carlos the Jackal in 1994, and former Khmer Rouge head of state Khieu Samphan in 2008.
He also famously defended Holocaust denier Roger Garaudy in 1998.
Vergès attracted widespread public attention in the 1950s for his use of trials as a forum for expressing views against French rule in Algeria, questioning the authority of the prosecution and causing chaos in proceedings – a method he promoted as "rupture defense" in his book "De la stratégie judiciaire".
An outspoken anti-imperialist, he continued his vocal political activism in the 2000s, including opposing the War on Terror.
The media sensationalized his activities with the sobriquet "the Devil's advocate", and Vergès himself contributed to his "notorious" public persona by such acts as titling his autobiography "The Brilliant Bastard" and giving provocative replies in interviews, such as "I'd even defend Bush!
But only if he agrees to plead guilty."
