Kenyan Lawyer Sues Israel For Killing Jesus

A Kenyan lawyer, Dola Indidis, is suing the
State of Israel, the Republic of Italy for the
trial and crucifixion of Jesus Christ which
the lawyer claims was unlawful.
Dola Indidis, a Roman Catholic, is
petitioning the International Court of
Justice, to nullify Jesus’ conviction and
death sentence by Pontius Pilate.
Indidas is accusing Pilate, who was the
Roman governor of Judea, of “judicial
misconduct, abuse of office, bias and
prejudice.”
For Indidis, it’s all about human rights,
and he feels as though Jesus suffered
greatly.
In particular, the lawyer is challenging the
modes of questioning used in Jesus’ trial
more than 2,000 years ago.
“Jesus came here on Earth as a human
being,” Indidis told Kenyan Citizen News.
“Now when he died, he was not given an
opportunity to be heard. No one speaks
for him.”
Indidis first brought his case before the
Kenyan High Court in Nairobi in 2007, but
the court refused to hear it, saying it
lacked jurisdiction.
Now he is turning to the International
Court of Justice, often referred to as the
World Court, which is best known for
ruling on territorial disputes between
members of the United Nations.
Indidis’ petition has surprised Christian
leaders in Kenya.
But Indidis seems undeterred and points
to the example of Joan of Arc, the 15th-
century saint who led the French to major
victories against the English before she
was captured and burned at the stake. A
quarter-century after Joan’s death her
conviction was overturned by a papal
court, and in 1920 she was canonized.
