before_revision: Ta Mok's real name is not known, but reported to be Ek Choeun or Oeung Choeun. He joined the Khmer Rouge after being part of anti-French colonial and anti-Japanese resistence movements, rising to become the Maoist group's Chief-of-Staff. He is believed to have directed the purges of the Democratic Kampuchea regime, in which an estimated 1.7 million people were tortured and killed in what is now referred to as "the killing fields", earning him the name “The Butcher” . After the fall of the regime, he continued to lead a faction, until captured by the Cambodian forces in 1999. Youk Chang, director of the Documentation Centre of Cambodia which is studying the crimes committed by the Khmer Rouge, said his death was “outrageous” . "Some people may be happy with this, ” he told AP, “ but not the victims who have been waiting for justice for a long time," Ta Mok's nephew Morm Mol said he was “saddened” by his uncle ’ s death.
