PUBLIC LECTURE<\/a><\/strong>– When Political and Judicial Factors Collide: Dr Hassan Diab tells his story<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2008, Dr. Diab, a sociologist teaching at Carleton University and the University of Ottawa, was unjustly accused of being the perpetrator of a horrendous antisemitic bombing outside a synagogue in Paris in 1980. In 2014, Dr. Diab was extradited from Canada to France, where he spent over three years in prison. In 2018, Hassan was released after two French investigative judges, who thoroughly examined the case, concluded that there is no evidence to justify a trial. They dropped all charges and released Hassan unconditionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Hassan Diab will talk about how political realities in France subsequently resulted in a wrongful conviction. A 3-week trial in April 2023, that brought forward no new evidence and relied on secret intelligence, declared Hassan guilty. He is at risk of being extradited a second time to France for a crime he did not commit. Hassan\u2019s case has been instrumental in prompting a Parliamentary review of Canada\u2019s Extradition Law.
