Kenyan lawyer who wants to overturn conviction, death penalty handed down to Jesus still hopes for justice

A Kenyan lawyer who filed a petition in 2013 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, still hopes for justice 16 years after.

Dola Indidis, a lawyer and former spokesman of the Kenyan Judiciary had sued 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 in an attempt to overturn the trial and conviction of Jesus Christ and his subsequent death sentence.

He turned to the Netherlands-based court, which usually hears matters of international law, after an attempt to file the suit at the High Court of Nairobi was thrown out in 2007.

Although an official from the ICJ had said that,  “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.” but Indidis still hopes for justice.

Indidis hopes to establish what crime Jesus was charged with and hopes the court will declares 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.’ Few apparent miscarriages of justice have reverberated as far and as long as the conviction and crucifiction of Jesus more than 2,000 years ago.

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.

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

“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. His selective and malicious prosecution violated his human rights through judicial misconduct, abuse of office bias and prejudice,” the added.

Indidis 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.

According to Indidis, “Some of those present spat in his face, struck him with their fists, slapped him, taunted him, and pronounced him worthy of death,” 

When Jesus died, Indidis insists, he was not given an opportunity to be heard.

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.”
