<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT><BR><FONT
face="comic sans ms,sans-serif">Hassan Diab is a Canadian facing unjust
extradition proceedings – which could see him forcibly removed to France - based
on deeply flawed “evidence”. He has always maintained his innocence and condemns
all ethnically and religiously motivated violence. Canada’s unfair
Extradition Law allows Canadians to be shipped to foreign countries based on
flimsy, unreliable evidence not accepted in domestic Canadian trials.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT><BR><FONT face="comic sans ms,sans-serif">In
Hassan's case, Canadian Extradition Law has:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT><BR><FONT
face="comic sans ms,sans-serif">Allowed deeply flawed handwriting analysis as
evidence, despite the Canadian judge finding it "very problematic, very
confusing, and with conclusions that are suspect".<BR>Allowed the authorities to
proceed despite the fact that Hassan's physical description and his finger and
palm prints do not match those of the suspect.<BR>Allowed the case to go forward
despite numerous serious contradictions and misrepresentations, and despite
reliance on secret intelligence in the Record of the Case.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT><BR><FONT face="comic sans ms,sans-serif">We
all have a stake in supporting Hassan in his pursuit of justice. Canada’s
shockingly low standard for extraditing its citizens is a threat to the
principles of fairness and fundamental justice, and could be used against any of
us.</FONT></P>
