{"product_id":"9780745351964","title":"Man Who Refused to Plead Guilty","description":"\u003cp\u003e'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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uzair S.
