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 The case was first filed under sections 65 and 67 of the constitution of Kenya (now repealed).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.
