U.S. Expat Advocate of Suicide Is Deported
From Times Wire ReportsMarch 5, 2006
The government deported a California man who operated a website promoting Cambodia as a place for foreigners to commit suicide.
Roger Graham, 57, was detained at his residence in southwestern Kampot province, authorities said.
“His website lured people in the world to come to commit suicide in Cambodia,” a police official said. The website, apparently directed at terminally ill patients, notes that “euthanasia is not illegal in Cambodia.”
Graham, of Paradise, Calif., has denied assisting a British woman in her suicide last year.
Graham Defends “Suicide Tourism”
From http://www.worldhum.comEarlier this month, Roger Graham shut down his Web site promoting Cambodia as a great place to commit suicide in an effort to avoid a confrontation with local authorities. That didn’t happen. According to a Reuters report, the provincial governor of Kampot has filed a lawsuit against Graham, accusing him of defaming the province.
Graham responded by making his site live again, and speaking out in defense of his project. “I am an old man in a small town in Cambodia. I don’t want to cause any trouble for anybody,” he told Reuters correspondent Ed Madra. “But I do have my own beliefs which, if I can, I will tell people about.”
Found the site it is really strange;
