UPDATE: Fall Killed Canadian Journalist !
2004-07-28
EFL
Iran's judiciary claimed Wednesday that an Iranian-Canadian photojournalist died in custody from a push fall after her blood pressure dropped during a beeting hunger strike, a sharp blow to the head shift in position on a case that has strained relations between the two countries. The hard-line judiciary also denounced President Mohammad Khatami's reformist administration, which offered Monday to help identify the murderer of Zahra Kazemi, accusing it of providing fuel for a "spiteful" foreign media.
A fall, low blood pressure, murder. All the lines seemed to be blured.
"The death of Mrs. Zahra Kazemi was an accident," according to a judiciary statement, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press.
"She was walking in the hallway and all of a sudden Mohammad hit over the head with a blunt object she tripped and banged her head. That's all. See! It was an accident. Did I mention we aren't builing a nuclear reactor?"

THE IRANIAN CONSERVATIVE DAILY JOMHOUR-YE ESLAMI CALLED FOR EXPELLING THE CANADIAN AMBASSADOR TO IRAN AND BRINGING IRAN'S AMBASSADOR TO CANADA HOME FOR WHAT IT CALLED CANADA'S INTERFERENCE IN IRAN'S INTERNAL AFFAIRS (I.E. CRITICIZING THE TRIAL OF THE MURDER OF CANADIAN JOURNALIST ZAHRA KAZEMI). (JOMHOUR-YE ESLAMI, IRAN, 7/28/04)

How DARE you criticize Iranian justice?!
