Hassan Diab is a Canadian citizen and former Carleton university professor who was extradited to France on November 14, 2014, in connection with the 1980 rue Copernic synagogue bombing in Paris. The Canadian extradition judge described the evidence presented by French authorities as very problematic and doubted that a conviction would be rendered in the event of a fair trial. However, Hassan may be wrongfully convicted under France's anti-terrorism laws, based on deeply flawed handwriting analysis and the use of secret, unsourced intelligence.
A screening of "Rubber Stamped; The Hassan Diab Story" will be followed by a discussion with three of Hassan's colleagues from Carleton.
