Wow!...why would such a thing like details of her death be covered up or imbelished like that?

Who gains from this kind of brutal secret? And why?

I pray her family will recover from this heartache.

This is, in sense, the murder of a foreign national by authority figures of another nation. I don't believe any nation should interfere in how another nation runs their country but when they condone murder of foreign nationals they should definately be held accountable for their actions.

A higher court, above the rules of any single nation, should come into play then. Never should murder be considered an action that is ok in any circumstance.

Canada should demand an investigation and turnover of the guards involved in this situation to stand trial for murder.

Wow!...why would such a thing like details of her death be covered up or imbelished like that?

Because torture is against international law. They cover up their bad deeds, thats why she was there in the first place. She was there to expose the goings-on in Iran. They didn't like that so they tortured and killed her.
When bad people do bad things they cover it up.

I seen her son on the news today. I don't know what other family she has. He has vowed to continue her work. He sounds as tough as his mother was.

if it was an american, i'd do like the US used to do in this kind of situation in the 1800's, send a big naval task force to block irans ports and fire on them and demand an apology with compensation....but hey thats just me.

Ottawa is currently pressing Iran for justice of Zahra Kazemi's torture and murder.




This is step one for Canada. I hope this wont be Ottawa's last step. Ottawa can not back down until justice has been served. Hopefully in the process the people in Iran will be able to remove the oppressors and live without fear of torture.

You hit the nail right on the head. The People IN Iran should make waves to remove these oppressors and hopefully no full fledged war will break out "To spread Democracy".

Wow


I don't even know where to begin.

This is a prime example of why i talk s*** about iran...but don't worry, they'll get theirs

Am sickened, but, those are the chances you take when you report in countries like iran.


Zahra,
You gave your life to better humanity, and for that, you have my utmost respect. You truely deserve a place of honor

Torture is a horible thing that should be removed from humanity. Hopfully a court for ALL would be established and ALL people who commit torture to their or other nations citizens should be punished.

"This is a prime example of why i talk s*** about iran...but don't worry, they'll get theirs"

Iran is not the only country torturing and killing foriegn nationals if you catch my meaning.
