Brisbane lawyer Andrew Boe
was born in Burma and has a continuing involvement in the democratic
movement in that country. He is married and has five children.
According to reports,
Andrew Boe is now representing Clint Betterridge who the Australian
Government are seeking to extradite to Cambodia. It has been reported
through media sources that Betterridge, 35, returned home to Australia,
just days before a Cambodian court sentenced him in absentia to 10 years
jail and fines of $8000 for raping six Cambodian girls aged between 12 &
14.
Foreign Affairs Minister
Alexander Downer made this comment to the National Press Club: "My
ambition is to get him back to Cambodia and get him to serve his
sentence there," he said.
Andrew Boe has taken over the Betterridge case from prominent Gold Coast lawyer, Chris Nyst [see Pauline Hanson case]. He has been granted time to prepare for the next hearing which is set down for March 31, 2004.
Andrew Boe has a private
legal practice in Brisbane [Australia] specializing in criminal law.
