Hassan Diab

Hassan Diab is a Lebanese-Canadian academic and former university professor who became widely known due to his extradition case. In 1980, he was accused of involvement in a Paris nightclub bombing, but he maintains his innocence and argues he was wrongly identified. Canada initially extradited him to France, where he was detained but later released due to concerns about the evidence's reliability. After years of legal battles, he returned to Canada in 2018, and the case remains controversial, highlighting issues of justice and international extradition procedures.
