Palestinians in Paraguay: Part 3 - The Trial
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In June 1970, Talal al-Dimassi took the stand in a courtroom in authoritarian Paraguay. Far away from home, he was being tried for opening fire in the Israeli embassy in Asunción.
His trial would last two years, his sentence longer but still, Israel wasn't finished with him yet. This episode follows what happened inside that courtroom, and what it cost.
This episode was co-produced by Maxim Saakyan, Nadeen Shaker and Nada El-Kouny. Story editing by Maxim Saakyan and Nadeen Shaker. Sound Design by Maxim Saakyan, with sound design support by Ross Burns.
