Not exactly, not the Court - I mean the International Criminal Court known as the ICC - but the lawyer who lodge a complain to the ICC on behalf of the Cambodian people he believe are victims of violations of Human Rights that can classified as Crime Against Humanity. He talked about a gross number of 720,000 or 6% of the population of Cambodia.
His name is Richard Rogers and in the after noon of yesterday Sunday January 11, he walked in a packed room in Holly Park Community Center, in Seattle, WA, to a hero welcome. But he answered humbly that he was not a hero, but simply a Human Right Lawyer. He talked an answered questions for over 4 hours in all aspects of the case from the submission of the complain last October 7, 2014, the possible course of action and what the people, everywhere in the world, can help.
Accompanying him is Vibol TOUCH, the President of the Cambodian National Rescue Foundation based in Virginia, a nonprofit organization with the mission to raise fund to support the work to help Cambodia.
