Kenyan Lawyer Takes Israel And Pontius Pilate To The International Court Of Justice Over The Death Of Christ

To be honest I found this pretty unbelievable. I wonder what you will make of it.

A Kenyan lawyer has filed a petition in The Hague, asking the International Court of Justice to hold Israel, among others, responsible for the “unlawful” trial and crucifixion of Jesus Christ

Dola Indidis, a former spokesman of the Kenyan Judiciary, is trying to sue Tiberius, Pontius Pilate, King Herod, a selection of Jewish elders, the Republic of Italy and the State of Israel.

“Evidence today is on record in the Bible, and you cannot discredit the Bible,” Mr. Indidis said.

Mr. Indidis insists that though the men mentioned have been dead for thousands of years, 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,” Mr. Indidis told the Nairobian.
“His selective and malicious prosecution violated his human rights through judicial misconduct, abuse of office bias and prejudice.”

“I am suing as a friend,” he added. “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.”

Mr. Indidis named Israel and Italy in the lawsuit, because upon attaining independence, they incorporated the laws of the Roman Empire. The case was first filed in the High Court in Nairobi but was rejected. The lawyer then applied to have it heard at the ICJ.

An official from the ICJ said, “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”.
