About
Jacques Verges was born in Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand. He was a French lawyer who earned fame continually from the 1950s, first as an anti-colonialist communist figure and then for defending a long string of well-known clients, from an anti-colonialist Algerian militant, Djamila Bouhired in 1957–1962 to former Khmer Rouge head of state Khieu Samphan in 2008. His clients included both left wing and right wing terrorists, war criminals, and militants. In 1945, he joined the French Communist Party. After the war he went to the University of Paris to study law. He has been elected as Secrétaire de la Conférence du barreau de Paris.
