Iranian Resistance welcomes recalling of Canadian ambassador from
Tehran and calls for firm international measures against widespread
human rights violations in Iran
Mr. Mohammad Mohaddessin, chairman of the NCRI Foreign Affairs
Committee welcomed the decision by Mr. Bill Graham, the Foreign
Minister of Canada, to recall Canada’s ambassador from Iran in protest
to the Iranian regime’s refusal to allow representatives of the
Canadian government to attend a show trial on Zahra Kazemi’s murder
case.
He called for a decisive policy against the widespread human
rights violations in Iran and supported Mr. Graham’s proposition to
refer this heinous crime to the International Court of Justice.
According to press reports, in response to the mullahs’ decision not to
allow representatives of the Canadian government to attend the show
trial of the murderer of Zahra Kazemi, the Iranian-Canadian
photojournalist murdered in July 2003 by agents of the religious
dictatorship ruing Iran, Canada’s Foreign Minister decided on 14 July
to recall its ambassador from Tehran. Mr. Graham declared “This is
completely unacceptable behavior on their part” and contrary to “all
international law standards,” and he will refer the matter to the
International Court of Justice.
The mullahs’ regime by resorting to deceit, has tried to cover up the
role of the leaders of the regime in this murder for the past year, and
therefore it is strongly opposed to the presence of international
observers and representatives of the Canadian government at this
kangaroo-trial.
