Book description

of his innocence  New evidence, never before published, destroys the

on compassionate grounds sparked controversy and headlines worldwide
Abdelbaset al-Megrahi does not receive any financial profit from the
publication of this book  You know me as the Lockerbie bomber. I know
that I'm innocent. Here, for the first time, is my true story: how I
came to be blamed for Britain's worst mass murder, my nightmare decade
in prison and the truth about my controversial release. Please read it
and decide for yourself. You are now my jury.' Â- Abdelbaset
al-Megrahi For the first time the man known as  the Lockerbie bomber'
tells his story. This long-awaited book argues that, far from being an
unrepentant terrorist, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was the innocent victim
of dirty politics, a flawed investigation and judicial folly. Based on
exclusive interviews with Megrahi himself, and conclusive new
evidence, it destroys the prosecution case and puts the Scottish
criminal justice system in the dock. Megrahi: You Are My Jury makes a
compelling argument that the murderers of the 270 Lockerbie victims
were acting on behalf of an entirely different government, rather than
Colonel Gadafy and Libya.
John Ashton is a writer, researcher and TV producer. He has studied the
