Computer Files, Websites
In February 2008 twelve Muslim men went on trial in Melbourne on terrorism charges. The trial ran for nine months, heard hundreds of hours of secretly taped conversations and presented 66,000 pages of evidence. With unique access to Greg Barns, one of the key defence barristers, THE TRIAL takes us inside one of the biggest court cases in Australia’s history.. Two of the men, Ezzit Raad and Abdullah Merhi, were charged with being members of a terrorist organisation and with providing it with resources. They faced possible sentences of up to 35 years in jail. Abdullah faced an additional charge: he was also accused of planning to be Australia’s first suicide bomber. This is an important film for everyone concerned about human rights and how Australia deals with the threat of terrorism.
