An Evening with Hassan before the Appeal Decision

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Waiting for the response from the Court of Appeal for Ontario regarding Hassan Diab's extradition order is difficult for Hassan and his family.

They need our support to keep up their spirits!

Therefore the Hassan Diab Support Committee is organizing a social evening and fundraiser for them and invites you all to be part of it.
  • Date: Friday April 11, 2014
  • Time: 6:00 PM
  • Place: First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa, 30 Cleary Avenue, Ottawa (off Richmond Road, one traffic light East of Woodroffe Avenue)
  • Transportation: Bus # 2 stops at Cleary; Bus # 87 stops at Woodroffe Avenue and Richmond Road.
    Ample parking is available.
Hassan will prepare a FREE delicious dinner, including vegetarian options, desserts, and refreshments.

Beautiful live music and songs by Arif Jinha and Gilbert Troutet.

There will be a silent auction and prizes.

Why a Fundraiser:
Hassan’s appeal has been expensive and the lawyers’ fees are mounting. In addition, Hassan has to pay about $2,000 per month for the GPS monitoring device he is required to wear, in order to be able to stay out of prison.

Hassan has shown enormous courage and grace in the face of unjust extradition proceedings. Please join us in supporting him on April 11!

“My life has been turned upside down because of unfounded allegations and suspicions.
I am innocent of the accusations against me. I have never engaged in terrorism.
I am not an anti-Semite. I have always been opposed to bigotry and violence.”
