One of them, a female journalist with long-standing Canadian citizenship, went to Iran to report on the status of women in the country.

The state-run trial, held at the insistence of Canadian Foreign Affairs and the international community, was a crock. Nothing happened, and the Iranian government had the gall to suggest that her multiple severe head injuries (consistent with those caused by blunt instruments) were caused by an "accidental fall." Yeah, right.

I know, I'm pretty pissed off at the Iranian government right now. [/QUOTE]Likewise. I'd be more than happy to see it go down, but I'd prefer it to come from within the country.
