More than 130 members of the legal community in Canada are asking the Prime Minister to deny an extradition request from France. It centres around a 69-year old Lebanese Canadian university professor. Dr. Hassan Diab was convicted in absentia in a trial held in France earlier this year where he was sentenced to life in prison. It was for the 1980 bombing of a synagogue in Paris that killed four and wounded 46 people. Dalhousie Law Professor Robert Currie is among those people calling on the government to end fifteen years of manifest injustice in the case. And he explains why the evidence presented in the case would never have stood in Canada and why our government needs to review its extradition laws. Because, what happened to Dr. Diab, could happen to other Canadians.
