| Presidential committee prevents burial of journalist |
| 2003-07-15 |
| A special committee, formed on President Mohammad Khatami’s order to probe the sudden death of an Iranian photojournalist who worked for a Canadian journal, has prevented the burial of her body until investigations were final. IRNA being careful not to mention her coming down with "sudden death" after being arrested. An informed source told IRNA Tuesday, that the committee had ruled against a request from Zahra Kazemi’s mother to transfer the body from the coroner’s office to her birthplace in Shiraz for interring. A little too high visability a case to sweep under the rug. |
