Suicide

<p><b>Foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Chris Hedges</b></p><p>In the age of climate collapse telling the truth has become a criminal act.</p><p>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.</p><p><i>Suicide</i> 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.</p><p>“These protestors are not criminals—they are messengers.”<br />— Open Letter signed by 1200+ public figures incl.
