France's case against Diab in connection with a bombing outside a Paris synagogue 40 years ago is set to go to trial next year — more than five years after Diab was set free due to a lack of evidence.
"We fear there will be a guilty verdict in France and that the Canadian government will approve an extradition, this time with no return." "The exculpatory evidence, carefully investigated and confirmed by French judges, makes it clear that he was not and could not have been at the scene of this horrific attack," he said. "Politics is driving this, not justice, not the rule of law."France's advocate general — a senior officer of the law who offers advice in the French legal system — sided with Diab's defence team during the appeal hearings and argued for his release.
He was released in January 2018 after two French judges ruled the evidence against him wasn't strong enough to take to trial. He was never formally charged.
No. He belongs in jail. iStandWithTrudeau HassanDiab
