“Self government is our right, a thing born to us at birth. A thing no more to be doled out to us by another people than the right to life itself; than the right to feel the sun or smell the flowers or to love our kind.”
Sir Roger Casement

I think, he is the only leader of the Rising, who was executed outside Ireland. But not 100% sure.

May his legacy last forever. TAL

I'd say you were right there, not as lauded as Connolly and Pearse, but such a man all the same..

Roger Casement's friend Arthur Conan Doyle(author of Sherlock Holmes) tried to rally support for his defence and put together a petition for his release, signed by figures such as W. B. Yeats, George Bernard Shaw and John Galsworthy.
