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?

The Copernic Affair is coming January 22nd. Canadaland supporters can listen to the whole series early and ad-free beginning November 11.
