A Kenyan lawyer, Dola Indidis has filed a petition against the International Court of Justice in the Hague asking it to declare the trial of Jesus 2,000 years ago as null and invalid, because it was not conducted in a fair manner based on the principles of a fair trial.
Indidis who is roman catholic and a former spokesman for Kenya’s Judiciary says, “I want a declaratory judgment declaration that the trial judgment and sentence entered were badly done and therefore null and void.”
“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.”
According to reports, Indidis first filed his case on behalf of the ‘Friends of Jesus’ in 2007 in Kenya’s High Court in Nairobi, but the court ruled it had no jurisdiction.
He then filed his case at the UN’s top judicial body in the Hague against Tiberius (Emperor of Rome 42 BC-37AD), Pontius Pilate, a selection of Jewish elders, King Herod, the Republic of Italy and the State of Israel.
However, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) body has dismissed the case as it is out of its jurisdiction.
“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,” the ICJ spokesperson said.
