An Ontario court has ordered the Iranian regime to pay more than $560 million to a Canadian citizen who was tortured in Iran decades ago, marking one of the largest civil awards ever issued in the country.
In a Thursday ruling, Canadian authorities found the Iranian regime must pay 5 percent annual interest on previously awarded damages to victim Zahed Haftlang, who fled to Canada in 2001 after enduring two years of torture in an Iranian prison.
Because the abuse dates back to 1990, 36 years of accrued interest adds an additional $360 million to the original award, bringing the total owed to Haftlang to $560 million — an amount that may be the largest ever granted by a Canadian civil court to an individual.
Once a child soldier during the Iran-Iraq War, Haftlang was captured in 1990 and, after being returned to Iran, endured repeated abuse amid growing suspicion from authorities.
“They labeled him an ‘infidel’ and tortured him in an effort to force loyalty to the Supreme Leader,” court documents said.

What do you think?
Deduct it from their frozen accounts!
👍👍👍👍👍
Potemkin judicial ruling. The Ontario court is powerless to enforce its edicts. One Iranian suitcase nuke in Ontario will nullify the courts relevance.
Great moral ruling, at least
Ontario must have NewYork judges..
“Good moraal ruling, at least.”
Oh really? then why not $560 trillion zillion ?
Oh brother, they would have better luck squeezing blood out of turnips.
“Will the Mullahs ever pay???”
Don’t hold your breath.

Good luck with that.
...So the Canadian government tax it and use it to import more invaders.
My first thought- they want tax money.
