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."
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.
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."
Recall that Canada had no problem giving hundreds of Nazis refuge after WWII.
Carleton University contract instructors and teaching assistants are striking against ‘exploitative’ wages
Carleton University is using undercover private investigators in unmarked cars to conduct covert surveillance targeting contract instructors and teaching assistants on picket lines as their ongoing strike enters its second week.
The presence of anti-union private investigators near picket lines was first reported by The Charlatan, the university’s student newspaper. The Ottawa university later confirmed it hired the private security firm Xpera to monitor picket lines.
Carleton University spokesperson Steven Reid declined to provide any details to PressProgress about the public institution’s use of anti-union private investigators, including details about the scope or monetary value of its contract with Xpera.
