Canada Lashes Out at Iran Over Death Probe

Reuters/ David Ljunggren

August 27, 2003 /OTTAWA -- Canada complained angrily on Wednesday that Iran had not yet handed over a report into the violent death of a Canadian journalist in Tehran and repeated a threat to impose sanctions unless the matter was resolved to Ottawa's satisfaction.

A spokeswoman for Foreign Minister Bill Graham said Tehran Prosecutor General Saeed Mortazavi had met senior Canadian officials on Thursday to discuss the case of Zahra Kazemi, 54, but had no provided no new details.

Mortazavi's office has charged two interrogators from the Intelligence Ministry with complicity in the "semi-intentional" murder of Kazemi, who died from a blow to the head after she was arrested for taking photographs outside a Tehran prison.

Graham spokeswoman Isabelle Savard said Graham had expressed his "profound disappointment" with recent developments in the case.

"Although Canada has made repeated requests, the Iranian government has yet to provide us with the investigative report on Ms Kazemi's death," she quoted Graham as saying.

Canada ... repeated a threat to impose sanctions unless the matter was resolved to Ottawa's satisfaction.

After going through the United Nations, one would hope. Surely Canada doesn't intend to act unilaterally.

[FormerACLUmember]

Canada is fast becoming a girly-man demilitarized frozen third world country. As such it has no credibility with IslamoFascists, who basically laugh and defecate on the half wit socialists who seem to permanently run Canada in perpetuity.

I guess the mullahs are still mullahing this over.

[rface]

I guess Canada is going to pull out the "Big Guns" and get France to be angry about it

[el_texicano]

This strikes me as a "toothless bark" situation...

[NeonKnight]

Canada act unilateraly? Against Iran? Pushaa

[PUGACHEV]

Impose sanctions! Oh gosh, oh dear, not that! Whatever will the Iranians do if they can't import gloves, muclucks, and everyone's favorite bacon from Canada! Whatever can they buy with their oil to make up for the loss?

Also false source in the posting and they give no source links back to Reuters who originate the article..... just recycling old articles.

Not recycling - archiving. Unfortunately they have to go thru with the new posts.
Sorry.

No. Selected articles. Being posted to "Must Read". It's already done. Just cleaning up a few stragglers.

[Servant of the 9]

Isn't it amazing how countries like Canada and France get all brave and puffed up at Middle Eastern Despots now?
A year ago they were kissing their asses.
