On Saturday, July 19th, a group of Iranians gathered in front of the Canadian parliament to remember Ms. Zahra Kazemi, who was tortured to death by the Islamic regime. It was a significant ceremony with Ms. Kazemi's pictures in many protestors' hands and banners reading 'We condemn the torture and murder of Ms. Kazemi by the Islamic Regime' and 'Iranian Canadian Journalist Murdered by the Iranian Regime.' The following article was also distributed to all passersby. Many local TV stations such as NewRO, CJOH, and Global TV reported the event, as well as CFRA News radio, which had an interview with one of the organizers, Sayeh Hassan, on Saturday, July 18th, and again on July 19th. Overall, the media coverage was considerably good, and the protestors were able to convey their message and inform Canadians about their fight for a free Iran. The crowd stayed in front of the Parliament from 12:30 PM to 2 PM and then marched towards the Iranian embassy holding Ms. Kazemi's pictures and banners. The demonstration continued until 3:45 PM and ended with protestors singing the Iranian national anthem 'Ay Iran.' We hope that the Canadian government will take the situation of Ms. Kazemi seriously and will demand that her body be returned to Canada; only then can it be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was tortured to death. We, as Iranian/Canadians, also ask the Canadian government to condemn the Iranian regime for all its crimes against humanity and cut their ties with the Iranian regime. Payande Iran, Sayeh Hassan.
