Join us Friday, March 20 for Justice for Professor Hassan Diab, a webinar and information evening, hosted by Peace Alliance Winnipeg and other social justice organizations. Guests are welcome to join us online or in-person.
Hear from Professor Diab himself as well as his lawyer Donald Bayne about how this case is an especially egregious example of the failures of the Canadian justice system and our biased extradition laws. The injustice began in 2008 when the then University of Ottawa Professor was arrested by the RCMP for a 1980 Paris synagogue bombing. He has always maintained his innocence. Canada then extradited Professor Diab to France in 2011, where he would spend more than three years in prison, most of it in solitary confinement, despite never being charged with a crime. Today Diab has is still being relentlessly pursued by the French legal system. Although in 2018 he was finally permitted to return home to Canada, as recently as April 2023 Professor Diab was convicted in absentia in France after an unfair trial.
This case is an especially egregious example of the failures of the Canadian justice system and our biased extradition laws. Join us for this important meeting to hear from social justice groups on the case and find out how you can become involved to support Professor Diab. Event is free but donations are welcome.
