| Nairobi: A case on behalf of Jesus Christ has come knocking on Kenya's High Court door, lodged by a fervent Christian group that wants his conviction declared "null and void" and his Crucifixion "illegal". Though cases to right historical wrongs are far from unusual around the world, Kenya's Friends of Jesus (FOJ) has reached back two millennia in what may redefine the quest for closure. The petition was filed Monday with the court registrar, raising a novel set of legal quandaries --- not the least of which involves the statute of limitations and whether the high court has jurisdiction over the "Son of God". It was not certain when a ruling would be handed down. But FOJ actually "might have a right in court because the issues raised touch on human rights and the High Court has unlimited powers on that line," High Court spokesman Dola Indindis told AFP. Little is known about FOJ, which does not proselytise and is reticent about its numbers, saying they cannot be counted in figures but in "the many who are ready to heed the Jesus teaching and be his friend". It is a Nairobi group that includes lawyers and wealthy businessmen who view their worldly fortune in this east African country where half the population lives below the poverty line as a gift from God. They want "the court to declare Jesus' trial null and void ... because the court that convicted Him was not properly constituted, the prosecutors violated the law of the time and the trial was a sham," Indindis said. |
