Het leven van een bescheiden sociologieprofessor in Canada staat plots volledig op zijn kop wanneer hij wordt beschuldigd van een bomaanslag op een synagoge in Parijs in 1980. Hassan Diab houdt vol dat hij onschuldig is, maar Franse speurders lijken vastbesloten het tegendeel te bewijzen.
Journalisten Dana Ballout en Alex Atack nemen de luisteraar mee door de onverwachte wendingen van dit uitzonderlijke verhaal, en stellen daarbij de centrale vraag: Is Hassan Diab schuldig, of is hij een zondebok? En wat als gerechtigheid voor de één, onrecht betekent voor de ander?
“Thorough and absorbing” –Hannah J Davies, The Guardian
“A fascinating tale masterfully told” –Fiona Sturges, The Financial Times
The life of an unassuming sociology professor in Canada gets turned upside down when he is accused of carrying out a 1980 bomb attack on a synagogue in Paris. Hassan Diab says heʼs innocent, but French investigators are determined to prove otherwise. Journalists Dana Ballout and Alex Atack take listeners through the twists and turns of this extraordinary story, all the while asking: Is Hassan Diab guilty, or is he a scapegoat? And what if one person’s justice means committing an injustice to another?
