CP: Slain journalist’s son accuses gov’t of empty words, nothing else, against Iran
The son of slain Iranian-Canadian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi sent a stinging letter Friday to the prime minister criticizing the federal government’s handling of the seven-year-old case. Stephan Hashemi accuses the government of consistently uttering empty words of indignation while failing to back them up with any concrete action against Iran. In a letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper dated Friday, Hashemi notes that the government is even working against him in a Canadian court case he launched against Iran. “Successive governments in Ottawa, yours and your predecessors’, have, for six and a half years, proclaimed their indignation over the actions of the government of Iran,” Hashemi wrote. “(Yet) your government continues to oppose the judicial proceedings which I have launched here in Montreal.”
