Graham Defends “Suicide Tourism”
Travel Blog • Michael Yessis • 11.28.05 | 8:33 AM ET
Earlier 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.”
