Dear friends,

Dr. Diab will be joined by his partner Dr. Rania Tfaily, who led the campaign for his release, Hasan Alam of Critical Muslim Voices, and Itrath Syed.
Event Details What: Hassan Diab Keynote. Panelists - Dr. Rania Tfaily, Itrath Syed, and Hasan Alam.
Where: Rm. 7000, SFU Harbor Centre, 515 W. Hastings, Vancouver BC
When: Friday, May 18, 2018 ; 6 - 7:30 PM
This is a BCCLA free public event, co-sponsored by SFU Institute for the Humanities.
Description:
Hassan Diab is a Canadian academic who taught at various universities in Canada and the U.S. His life was turned upside down about a decade ago when he was falsely accused of an attack near a synagogue in Paris in 1980.
Even though he was never charged, Hassan was subjected to imprisonment and draconian bail conditions for six years in Ottawa before he was extradited to France in 2014. He spent over three years in France’s largest prison.
Hassan was ordered released on bail eight times by four different French judges because of consistent evidence of his innocence, however, each time the prosecutor blocked his release.
On January 12, 2018, two French anti-terrorism judges cleared him and ordered his immediate and unconditional release. Soon after, Hassan returned to Canada and was reunited with his family including his son who was born after his extradition.
I look forward to seeing you tonight!
Warmly,
Iman Baobeid
