{"product_id":"9781839766237","title":"The Trial of Julian Assange : A Story of Persecution by Nils Melzer","description":"Nils Melzer, the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, uncovers a  systematic campaign to persecute Assange. He reveals that Assange has  faced grave and systematic due process violations, judicial bias,  collusion and manipulated evidence. He has been the victim of constant  surveillance, defamation and threats. Melzer also gathered together  consolidated medical evidence that proves that the prison has suffered  prolonged psychological torture. Melzer's compelling investigation puts the UK and US state into the  dock, showing how, through secrecy, impunity and, crucially, public  indifference, unchecked power reveals a deeply undemocratic system. Furthermore, the Assange case sets a dangerous precedent: once telling the truth becomes a crime, censorship and tyranny will inevitably follow.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56307598655861,"sku":"9781839766237","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781839766237.jpg?v=1762804505","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781839766237","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
