About This Book

A public letter addressed to the head of state accuses military and judicial authorities of orchestrating a wrongful conviction in a spy case, detailing alleged manipulations, secret procedures, dubious expert testimony, and the central role of a particular investigator who pursued the accused through coercive and theatrical methods. The writer analyzes how institutional biases, closed trials, and fabricated or misinterpreted evidence produced a grave miscarriage of justice, demands a full, transparent inquiry, and insists on speaking out to prevent complicity and to restore truth and honor.
