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
