01005811 Case File No. 002/19-09-2007/ECCC/TC E313 264. NUON Chea initially denied that he played any role in “establishing” the Revolutionary Flag publication.823 However, he subsequently admitted that Revolutionary Flag was written by members of the Standing Committee, principally himself and POL Pot.824 This was consistent with NUON Chea’s admitted role as “a candidate in charge of propaganda and writing articles for the news papers” for the Indochina Communist Party and the Khmer People’s Revolutionary Party – forerunners of the CPK825 – in the 1950s.826 NUON Chea later changed his position again, denying that he was the author of any articles published in Revolutionary Flag and claiming that POL Pot had “a personal assistant who was fully in charge of writing the articles”.827 Shortly thereafter, NUON Chea refused to submit to further cross-examination.828 In light of his previous admissions and the sporadic exercise of his right to remain silent, the Chamber finds NUON Chea’s denial implausible, and is satisfied that he was indeed one of the principal authors of the Revolutionary Flag magazine.829 265.
