On April 21, 2023, the French Court of Assize declared Hassan guilty of the 1980 bombing in Paris despite documentary proof that he was not in France at that time, but in Lebanon taking sociology exams! The sham trial was politically motivated and unfairly conducted.

With this devastating result, it is urgent to gather Hassan’s supporters in a show of our commitment to do everything we can to protect Hassan from the expected French call for him to be extradited again, this time to face life imprisonment.
