In 2008, Hassan Diab, a Sociology Professor at Carleton University, was arrested for the 'alleged' involvement in the bombing of a Synagogue, which killed 4 people and injured plenty more. He is now scheduled in April 2023 to undergo a trial in France. Despite much evidence that points away from his involvement, Hassan Diab has still had to undergo wrongful and unlawful extradition. Hassan Diab was not involved at all in that bombing that took place in 1980. However, he served 38 months in a French prison and was released because two investigative judges ruled that he had not been involved. Since he has been released, the French judiciary set an April 2023 date for another trial based on another handwriting analysis.
In April 2023, Hassan will face an unfair trial in France for a crime he did not commit. This is despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence. In 2018, two French investigating judges dismissed all charges against him and freed him unconditionally. All the so-called “evidence” that was presented by France to justify Hassan Diab’s extradition in 2014 has been withdrawn, discredited, or rejected. France has offered NO new “evidence” against Hassan. On the contrary, the alibi evidence, proving that Hassan was not in France at the time of the 1980 Paris bombing, has proven unshakable.
Please join us for a rally in Ottawa on Sunday November 13, at 1:00 pm, demanding that the Canadian Government protect Professor Hassan Diab from further injustice, stop the baseless prosecution he is facing, and refuse any future request for Hassan’s extradition.
