who lived in Ottawa. He was extradited to France on November
14, 2014, in connection with the 1980 Rue Copernic bombing
in Paris. <br>
<br>
The Canadian extradition judge described the evidence that
the French authorities submitted as “<b>very problematic” </b>and <b>“suspect”, </b>an<wbr>d
stated that<span> </span><b>“the prospects of conviction in
the context of a fair trial seem unlikely”</b>.<span> </span>However,
the judge said that he felt obliged under Canada’s
extradition law to commit Hassan to extradition. <br>
<br>
Hassan has strongly condemned the attack and steadfastly
maintained his innocence. <b>He<span> </span>has been in
prison near Paris for almost two years.<span> </span></b><br>
<i><br>
</i>Mr. Don Bayne, Hassan’s lawyer in Canada, has stated:
“We now have the classic recipe for the wrongful conviction
of a Canadian citizen”.<br>
