Robert F. Kennedy's Daughter Demands Apology from Sotto

Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of former US Senator Robert F. Kennedy demands an apology from Philippines Senator Vicente Sotto III for plagiarizing his father's speech.

In a letter written on the official official stationery of the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights, Ms. Kennedy said:

"I urge that he (Sotto) apologize for his unethical, unsanctioned theft of Robert Kennedy’s intellectual property and the intellectual property of all those whose work he has plagiarized."

She further criticized the anti-RH Bill senator for his use of Kennedy's speech to block the passage of the RH Bill in the senate.

"In addition, I am particularly offended to see a speech my father gave in support of global human rights distorted by Senator Sotto as an argument against the right to contraception. Expanding and protecting access to contraception is a global priority I have promoted for years, and limiting that freedom was in no way the topic of the 1966 Day of Affirmation speech."
