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 Italyand 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,
howeverIndidis 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
uphold the dignity of Jesus and I have gone
to the ICJ to seek justice for the man from
Nazareth,” Indidis 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
suingas a friend,” he said.
Indidis insisted on the validity of his case,
saying “I know with a matter of fact and
truthwe 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.
