The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague has constituted a panel to hear a case filed by a Nairobian challenging the unfair trial, sentencing, punishment and death of Jesus Christ. Dola Indidis, a lawyer and former spokesman of the Kenyan Judiciary, first filed the unprecedented case in the High Court in Nairobi on behalf of the ‘Friends of Jesus’ in August 2007 (Republic of Kenya Constitutional Petition No. 965 of 2007). The court said it had no jurisdiction, prompting Indidis to seek international justice at the Netherlands-based court in 2011. “The court has communicated to me. I am now waiting for the date of hearing,” Indidis told The Nairobian. There has been no trial or execution in history that has had such a huge impact, especially in Christianity, as that of Jesus of Narazeth in Roman occupied Jerusalem over 2,000 years ago. “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,” said Indidis, who is also a former police spokesperson. “His selective and malicious prosecution violated his human rights through judicial misconduct, abuse of office bias and prejudice.” Indidis moved to the ICJ in The Hague to have the conviction and sentencing of Jesus Christ quashed arguing that he was “Convinced that Pontius Pilate erred in law by convicting and sentencing Jesus Christ while acknowledging his own lack of jurisdiction and the accused’s innocence.” The case was first filed under sections 65 and 67 of the constitution of Kenya (now repealed). The petitioner was Friends of Jesus through Dola Indidis suing Tiberius (Emperor of Rome 42 BC-37AD), Pontius Pilate (Governor of Judea), Annas, Jewish Chief Priest, Jewish elders, Jewish teachers of the law, King Herod, The Republic of Italy and The State of Israel. The Kenya Civil Liberties Union was listed as an Amicus Curie while Humprey Odanga Achala was an interested party. The petitioners named the states of Italy and Israel in the suit because upon the attainment of independence, the states incorporated the laws of the Roman Empire and those in force at the time of the Crucifixion. Jewish Chief Priest Caiaphas is accused of arresting Jesus, trying him in a kangaroo court and convicting him on a religious charge that carried the death penalty because he did not want Jesus to challenge his authority, especially not at Passover time Nthenya M. K 26 July 2013 9:16 PM The death of Jesus the Holy one was Gods Plan to SAVE man kind!!! loki 26 July 2013 6:20 PM Blasphemous! in the old testament this offense called for death sentence through stoning! Emmanuel 26 July 2013 4:44 PM It is important to note that JESUS is still alive. Peter, John and the rest were very categorical and I agree totally with them in Acts 2 when Peter, being prompted by the Holy Spirit declared the things he had witnessed himself and he said thus and I quote; "The same JESUS who you crucified, is alive and has become both LORD and CHRIST". The petitioner should not just look at the case from an academic perspective, he should also look at the spiritual angle. This is what GOD Himself, the sublime GOD of heaven and earth ordained, planned and allowed to happen so that mankind can be reconciled to GOD. It will be interesting to see how the case proceeds since, no one can ever purport to defend GOD. GOD can defend Himself Goodwill 26 July 2013 1:55 PM He ought to understand that taking this case to the Hague is like accusing yourself there because the death of Christ had to do with the sins of the whole world. Let him think fast before doing that and let him understand that he can be forgiven his sins through the death of Jesus Christ if he repents. Finally he also needs to know that God raised Christ from the grave. Hague could not do that.
