Beschreibung

Foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Chris Hedges In the age of climate collapse, telling the truth has become a criminal act. From a cell in Wayland Prison, Roger Hallam-farmer, researcher, and co-founder of Just Stop Oil-delivers a searing indictment of a legal system that punishes those who resist, while protecting those who destroy. In July 2024, Hallam was dragged from a British courtroom for refusing to stay silent about the climate crisis. For "conspiracy to cause a public nuisance," he was sentenced to five years in prison, the harshest punishment for civil disobedience in the UK in modern British history. The case made front-page news and drew global outcry. Suicide is part memoir, part political reckoning. Drawing on Hallam's award-winning research and experience representing himself in four Crown Court trials, it lays bare the moral and legal failures of a society sleepwalking into catastrophe. From climate science and the right of necessity, to the collapse of democratic norms and the illusions of secular reason, this is a radical call to rethink justice, truth, and duty in the face of extinction. "These protestors are not criminals-they are messengers." - Open Letter signed by 1,200+ public figures, incl. Rowan Williams, Brian Eno, Annie Lennox, Sir David King, Tilda Swinton & Philip Pullman Praise of Roger's Work "Brilliant: wise, profound and persuasive." - George Monbiot "An instruction manual for ripping through the corruption." - Paul Mason Praise for Suicide "Mr. Roger Hallam is the charismatic voice and face of Britain's climate crisis movement. His devotion to this cause has been like a burning cigarette carelessly tossed from a car window. It ignited a grass fire that became a brush fire and then a forest fire in the minds of Britain's youth and socially aware grownups. Roger chose the succinct title "Suicide" for his account of the M25 trial that led to the imprisonment of all who took part in an act of civil disobedience. Th
