An alleged terrorist is no longer teaching at Carleton University following backlash.
Hassan Diab, 71, was convicted of having taken part in a 1980 Paris synagogue bombing that left four dead and dozens injured.
Among those who lead the charge to get Diab fired was B'nai Brith Canada.
"For months, we stood firm against the unacceptable decision to allow a convicted terrorist to hold a position of influence over students," the group wrote in a post on X after being told Diab was no longer teaching at the institution.
"Diab's employment as a lecturer was a betrayal of the Canadian values of justice, safety, and accountability."
"We commend Carleton University for taking the necessary steps to rectify this grave misstep, demonstrating its commitment to maintaining an environment that reflects the values of integrity, responsibility, and respect for all students."
"This decision is an important acknowledgment of the need to ensure our educational institutions prioritize the well-being and academic success of their students."
The group added that it will continue to advocate for Diab's extradition to France to "face justice."
Diab moved to Canada in 2006, and was arrested by the RCMP in 2008 at the behest of authorities in France, who sought his extradition. He was sent over in 2014 following a lengthy back and forth in the Canadian court system, and spent the next couple years under house arrest.
The charges of murder and attempted murder were dropped in 2018, and he returned to Canada. Three years later, though, France's Court of Cassation ordered his trial go ahead as planned, and in 2023 he was convicted of terrorism and sentenced to life in prison in abstentia.
Diab was hired to teach a sociology course at Carleton in 2009, but was let go following backlash. He was rehired to teach another course years later on "social justice in action."
Whether he will be returned to France remains to be seen.
