"Correspondence and Report from His Majesty's Consul at Boma Respecting the..." by Roger Casement is a diplomatic report published in 1904. Commissioned by the British Government, this document exposes systematic abuses in King Leopold II's privately owned Congo Free State. Casement's forty-page investigation, supplemented by harrowing eyewitness testimonies of killings, mutilations, and beatings, would prove instrumental in stripping Leopold of his African holdings. The report emerged amid growing international scrutiny and helped fuel the Congo Reform Association's campaign against exploitation in the region. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
