In the last few months, there has been a concerted and malicious campaign against Dr. Hassan Diab, which has directly triggered hate mail and threats against him and his family.
The Hassan Diab Support Committee, which has been active on Hassan Diab’s behalf for over 16 years, has issued a Media Statement to provide the fundamental facts which are being ignored or deliberately distorted by those who seek to scapegoat and harm Hassan.
The label “convicted synagogue bomber”, plastered on Dr. Diab, is a vilification resting on the verdict of an in absentia sham trial at the Paris Special Assize Court in 2023. The trial was designed to convict Dr. Diab. Among many concerns about the manner in which the French trial was conducted, the unjust conviction was based on secret, unsourced, and unreliable “intelligence” – inadmissible in the Canadian system of justice.
The Canadian government must not be party to this injustice and must state urgently and unequivocally that Hassan Diab will not be subjected to a second extradition to France.
