sad story

[@andybrown6981]

I read that Casement telling Pearce to wait until the arms come from Germany - which suggests or asserts that he been involved in procuring weapons, and during wartime I wonder if that is a fabrication?

[@Iguazu65]

Correct. But he was also attempting to stop the uprising when he was arrested.
What he witnessed in the Congo made him anti colonial

Why was he made to stand. ?
