História

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Jacques Vergès, born 5 March 1925 in Ubon Ratchathani, Siam (now called Thailand), is a French lawyer who has earned fame continually since the 1950s, first as an anticolonialist communist figure and then for defending a long string of well-known clients from anticolonialist Algerian militant Djamila Bouhired (his future wife) in 1957-1962 to former Khmer Rouge head of state Khieu Samphan (2008). His clients have included both leftwing and rightwing terrorists, war criminals, and militants, including Holocaust denier Roger Garaudy, Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie (1987), and international terrorist Ilich Ramírez Sánchez a.k.a. Carlos the Jackal (1994). In 2002, he offered to represent former Serbian President Slobodan Milošević, although Milošević declined any legal advice from any party. The media have sensationalized him with the sobriquet, "the Devil's advocate", and he himself has contributed to his "notorious" public persona by such acts as titling his autobiography The Brilliant Bastard and giving provocative replies in interviews. He claims that when asked if he would have defended Hitler, he replied, "...I'd even defend Bush! But only if he agrees to plead guilty."

O Advogado do Terror
O Advogado do Terror
Himself
O advogado Jacques Vergès surgiu na mídia nos anos 60. Defendia argelinos que mataram, em atentados em Argel, dezenas de franceses. Vergès mostrava seu lado anticolonialista. Mas o que se seguiu, a partir de então, foi que ele passou a defender a causa dos terroristas de Munique, de Carlos, o Chacal, de Klaus Barbie, o nazista conhecido como o Açougueiro de Lyon, de ditadores africanos, de Pol Pot, do Irã de Khomeini. O documentário não pende para lado algum. Deixa que os fatos, que seus participantes e que Vergès falem por si.
