Roger Casement

Roger David Casement (; 1 September 1864 –  3 August 1916), known as Sir Roger Casement, CMG between 1905 and his execution for treason in August 1916, was an Irish patriot, poet, revolutionary and nationalist by inclination. He was a British diplomat by profession and is famous for his activities against human rights abuses in the Congo and Peru, but better known for his dealings with Germany prior to Ireland's Easter Rising in 1916. A patriotic Briton in his youth, Casement‘s witnessing of atrocities in the Congo led him to anti-Imperialist and ultimately Irish Republican political opinions.
