A Kenyan lawyer has filed a
petition with the
International Court of
Justice 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 BCE-37 CE), 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 the Kenyan
Citizen News.
Although those he suggests
should have been convicted
during the original trial have not been alive for
more than 2,000 years,
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 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’s trial, prosecution, hearing and sentencing; the
form of punishment meted
out to 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
then applied to have it heard at the ICJ.
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 told the Kenyan news website
Standard Media(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,
an official from the ICJ 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.”
