Relations between Canada and Iran drastically deteriorated in June 2003 when Zahra Kazemi, an Iranian-Canadian freelance photographer from Montreal, was arrested while taking pictures outside a prison in Tehran during a student protest. Three weeks later, she was killed while in custody.[16]
Iranian authorities insisted that her death was accidental, claiming that she died of a stroke while being interrogated. However, Shahram Azam, a former military staff physician, stated that he examined Kazemi’s body and observed obvious signs of torture, including a skull fracture, broken nose, signs of rape and severe abdominal bruising. This information was revealed within Azam’s case for seeking asylum in Canada in 2004.[16]
If the US killed the police who arrested her and those who interrogated her, I wouldn’t be terribly sad—ditto those who did the same and similar to perhaps 100s or 1000s of Iranian women (and men).
What where those canucks doing?
