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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56909171622261,"sku":"9780745351964","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780745351964.jpg?v=1773750521","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9780745351964","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
