Dola Indidis wants the IJC to consid
convict those responsible for his un
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.”
