KENYA LAWYER SUES ISRAEL OVER THE DEATH OF JESUS

A Kenyan lawyer has filed a petition with the International Court of
Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, suggesting that the trial and crucifixion
of Jesus Christ was unlawful, and The State of Israel among others
should be held responsible, Kenyan news outlet the ...
Nairobian reported
on Friday.
Dola Indidis, a lawyer and former spokesman of the Kenyan Judiciary is
reportedly attempting to sue Tiberius (Emperor of Rome 42 BC-37AD),
Pontius Pilate, a selection of Jewish elders, King Herod, the Republic
of Italy and the State of Israel.
"Evidence today is on record in the bible, and you cannot discredit
the bible," Indidis told Kenyan Citizen News.
Yes, those he suggests should have been convicted during the original
trial have not been alive for more than 2000 years, however Indidis
insists that the government for whom they acted can and should still
be held responsible.
"I filed the case because it's my duty to upholdthe dignity of Jesus
and I have gone to the ICJ to seek justice for the man from Nazareth,"
Indidid told the Nairobian. "His selective and malicious prosecution
violated his human rights through judicial misconduct, abuse of office
bias and prejudice."
Indidis apparently named the states of Italy and Israel in the lawsuit
because upon the attainment of independence, the two states
incorporated the laws of the Roman Empire, those in force at the time
of the Crucifixion.
He is challenging the mode of questioning used during Jesus' trial,
prosecution, hearing and sentencing; the form of punishment meted out
on him while undergoing judicial proceedings and the substance of the
information used to convict him.


The case was first filed in the High Court in Nairobi, but was
rejected. Indidis had then applied to have it heard at the ICJ, which,
the Kenyan news website Standard Media(SDE) reported constituted a
pre-trial panel that would consider his case.
Indidis says he wants to establish what crime Jesus was charged with
and prays that the court decides "that the proceedings before the
Roman courts were a nullity in law for they did not conform to the
rule of law at the material time and any time thereafter."
"Some of those present spat in his face, struck him with their fists,
slapped him, taunted him, and pronounced him worthy of death," Indidis
also told SDE.
When Jesus died, Indidis insists he was not given an opportunity to be
heard. "I am suing as a friend," he said.
Indidis insisted on the validity of his case, saying "I know with a
matter of fact and truth we have a good case with a high probability
of success and I hope it is done in my lifetime."
When asked about the case, a spokesperson from the IJC told legal news
website Legal Cheek, "The ICJ has no jurisdiction for such a case. The
ICJ settles disputes between states. It is not even theoretically
possible for us to consider this case."
