AEGiS-BAR: Gay judge fights for human rights in South Africa (1007 words)
Edwin Cameron, one of South Africa's most respected judges who has gone public with his homosexuality, will not apologize for his strong criticism of President Thabo Mbeki who has been "flirting" with dissident AIDS scientists.
Cameron, who obtained a bachelor's degree in law and a bachelor of arts degree at the University of Stellenbosch - both cum laude - and subsequently earned two more degrees at Oxford, is a well-known human rights activist and constitutional expert.
Cameron openly criticized Mbeki for his "intractably puzzling" statements and his "flirtation" with AIDS dissidents which had shocked almost everyone involved in fighting the pandemic.
