A doctor’s "gruesome" account of injuries he found on Canadian journalist Zahra Kazemi only reinforces Canada’s belief that the woman was murdered in Iran, Foreign Affairs Minister Pierre Pettigrew said Thursday.
"We know that she was murdered and not the victim of an accident," the minister said in Toronto. Canada has not given up on the case and will enlist international support against Iran, Pettigrew added. "We will be continuing to work with the international community, put the pressure on Iran so that they render justice," he said.
Stockwell Day, the Tory foreign affairs critic, suggested the recall of Canada’s ambassador and the imposition of sanctions, but Pettigrew wasn't enthusiastic. Canada needs an ambassador in Tehran to keep the pressure on, he said.
Somehow I don't think Khamenei is scared.
