Klappentext
'A remarkable story' - Arun Kundnani, author of The Muslims are Coming!
In 2003, 23-year-old Uzair Paracha was arrested by the US government and branded a terrorist. A Pakistani man living in New York, he was accused of providing 'material support' to al-Qaeda - a vague, catch-all charge invented in the chaotic aftermath of 9 / 11. He was offered a plea deal but refused, knowing he was innocent.
What followed was a nightmare: years in solitary confinement, a trial built on fear instead of facts, and a justice system determined to make an example of someone who they thought looked the part. Uzair's case wasn't an anomaly: it was the blueprint.
The Man Who Refused to Plead Guilty is more than one man's story: it's a stark reflection of the path the US chose after 9 / 11. A path that reached for demonisation before understanding, punishment before truth. Uzair Paracha's experience lays bare the human cost of a vengeful nation, how a heart filled with principle can find some small semblance of justice.
