On November 21, 2024, CBC “Power and Politics” host, David Cochrane, interviewed Don Bayne (Hassan Diab’s Canadian Lawyer) and Roger Clark (Representative of the Hassan Diab Support Committee).

The recent threats against Dr. Hassan Diab highlight the lack of knowledge about his case and a malicious misinformation campaign. The Canadian government’s silence since his wrongful “conviction” in absentia in 2023 has allowed criminal threats to surface and allowed public figures to misstate — either negligently or knowingly — the facts of Hassan’s case.

The Canadian Government must protect Hassan Diab and publicly state that it will not accept any request for Hassan Diab’s extradition to France (a second time) for a crime he did not commit.
