Canadian university allows convicted terrorist to teach at their campus
A man convicted of terrorism and sentenced to life for his involvement in the murder of four Jews in a French synagogue bombing, is an active Professor of Sociology at a Canadian University, and teaches a course on "social justice in action."I get the strange feeling the judge released him deliberately. Considering how much corruption runs amok in French politics, it wouldn't be shocking if that were the case.
Carleton University in Ottawa stands by Diab, and has worked to prevent his extradition in the past.
Dr Hassan Diab, a Lebanese terrorist, was convicted by a French court over his involvement in a 1980 bombing that killed four people and injured 46 outside the Rue Copernic reform synagogue in Paris.
Diab fled to Canada, and after being arrested in 2008, entered into a six-year legal battle to avoid being extradited to France. However, Diab was extradited in 2014, but after two years in prison, a judge allowed him to be released to house arrest. He escaped to Canada on the same day.
The subsequent trial was held in absentia, and the court unanimously ruled that Diab was guilty and he was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Despite the international arrest warrant against him, Diab will be teaching a sociology course this year at Carleton University in Ottawa.At the moment, Canada's the country that's looking bad as a result of this travesty of justice, along with Carleton university. That the government doesn't extradite him back to France speaks volumes of what's wrong with Canadian law and politics.
The sons of one of the victims of the bombing, Aliza Shragir, an Israeli TV presenter, said that reinstating Diab as a lecturer was "outrageous."
"It is outrageous that an academic institution that is supposed to promote values of equality and justice decided to employ a cold-blooded murderer, who was unanimously convicted in a court in France. Apparently carrying out a murderous terrorist act against a Jewish target does not go against the values of Carleton University," the sons said in a statement.
Idit Shamir, the Israeli consul general in Toronto, Idit Shamir, called the decision "unconscionable" in a post to her X/Twitter.
"Hassan Diab, the terrorist who murdered my friend’s mother, Aliza Shagrir, before his eyes in the 1980 Paris synagogue bombing still lectures at Canada’s @Carleton_U."
"A French court gave him life for murdering 4 souls & maiming 46. Yet Carleton University rewards him with a teaching position?"
"This isn't just a failure of justice," Shamir added. "It's spitting on the graves of Jewish victims."
