source: wikipedia: Roger David Casement (Irish: Ruair Mac Easmainn;[1]1 September18643 August1916), known as Sir Roger Casement, CMG between 1905 and July 1916, was an Irish patriot, poet, revolutionary and nationalist by inclination. He was a Britishdiplomat by profession and is famous for his activities against human rights abuses in the Congo and Peru, but more well known for his dealings with Germany prior to Ireland's Easter Rising in 1916. A patriotic Briton early in his life, his traumatic experiences witnessing human rights abuses in the Congo and Peru led him to anti-Imperialist and ultimately Irish Republican political opinions.
