Lon Non (Khmer: លន់ ណុន; 18 April 1930 – 17 April 1975) was a Cambodian military officer and politician who rose to prominence during the Cambodian Civil War (1967–1975) and the Khmer Republic (1970–1975).
Non was the younger brother of Prime Minister (and later President) Lon Nol. As a result, he was often referred to as "Little Brother" (French: Petit frère) in political circles, in which he was regarded as a somewhat Machiavellian figure who was determined to protect his brother's monopoly on power. Non was executed by members of the Khmer Rouge after the Communist seizure of Phnom Penh in April 1975.[1]
