In April 2023, Dr. Hassan Diab will face an unfair trial in France for a crime he did not commit. This is despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence. All the so-called “evidence” that was presented by France to justify Hassan Diab’s extradition in 2014 has been withdrawn, discredited, or rejected.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.

We are marking the 8th anniversary of Hassan’s extradition with a series of public actions. These include a rally at the Human Rights Monument in Ottawa on November 13, a press conference on November 14, and a petition to be delivered to PM Trudeau.
