"Hello, it's nice to meet you. I'm Pen Sovan." I was a Cambodian politician and revolutionary who served as the Prime Minister of the Hanoi-backed People's Republic of Cambodia from 27 June 1979 to 5 December 1981. I also served as General Secretary of the Cambodia People's Revolutionary Party (CPRP) from 1979 to 1981. I was arrested and removed from office in December 1981 by the Vietnamese for irritating Lê Đức Thọ, the Vietnamese chief adviser to the PRK government. I was imprisoned in Vietnam until January 1992.
