Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. An inspiring true story about an American attorney and his client confronting prejudice and persecution in a prison outside the law, as one fights for the other's freedom, and the other fights for his life. "We'll be watching," the sergeant said, pointing at a video monitor inside Camp Echo's guard booth. "For your protection." In 2004, attorney Joshua Colangelo-Bryan arrived at Guantanamo Bay to meet Jaber Mohammed, one of six Bahraini detainees his firm had agreed to represent. Colangelo-Bryan had heard these men were "among the most dangerous, best-trained, vicious killers on the face of the earth," as Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld put it. Colangelo-Bryan didn't buy the rhetoric, but did find himself wondering if he was about to meet a killer. Far from being threatening, though, Mohammed welcomed Colangelo-Bryan, even as his ankle was shackled to the floor. Why was Mohammed there? Was he guilty of a crime? These were among the questions Colangelo-Bryan had to answer. Surprisingly, the two spoke for hours about their lives. Mohammed also detailed the inhumane conditions at the prison, including abuse by guards and solitary confinement. A friendship grew over time, as Colangelo-Bryan worked to bring justice to Mohammed. The Bush administration claimed any "enemy combatant" could be held in Guantanamo forever without a trial, and it became clear that litigation was unlikely to free the Bahrainis. And so, as Mohammed lost hope, Colangelo-Bryan devised a plan to leverage the media and pressure the Bahraini government to negotiate for the release of its citizens. Colangelo- Bryan's long fight for the Bahrainis was ultimately successful, and in 2007, after several suicide attempts, Mohammed was freed. Through the Gates of Hell is a powerful account of an unlikely friendship and what it takes to fight for human rights in the post-9/11 era.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Eleven stories of people across Europe who became unlikely Human Rights Defenders.Across Europe, rising repression is reshaping daily life. Local people helping others are targeted and criminalized for exposing corruption, helping refugees and acting out of kindness. In today's climate of increasing fear and intimidation, some refuse to look away. Award-winning activist Brian Dooley presents eleven true stories of people who chose courage over safety: a former violinist in Ukraine driving an ambulance at the eastern front of the war on Ukraine; a family in eastern Poland secretly sheltering migrants hunted in the border forest; and a Turkish scientist risking prison to expose toxic contamination threatening children's health. In the Czech Republic, a woman transforming how sexual violence is understood and prosecuted, while volunteers in Italy treat and assist refugees arriving along the Balkan route. Communities in Bosnia and Northern Ireland resist environmentally destructive mining projects. Polish activists expose homophobia, and anonymous Baltic volunteers counter Russian propaganda, while in England, a lawyer spends decades challenging wrongful terrorism convictions. None of these people set out to become activists. They were musicians, scientists, and neighbors who saw injustice and acted to stop it. Drawing on decades of frontline reporting, Dooley details how imagination, persistence, and moral clarity can defy repression and change people's lives. Defiant reminds us that the defense of human rights begins not with institutions, but with what ordinary people can achieve when they choose to stand up for one another.…
