This post speaks to IRI (Iranian government) infiltration of the Canadian Government
Due to scheduling conflicts, time constraints and the overwhelming number of requests for interviews by the media, we, Shabnam Assadollahi and Shadi Paveh, the two Canadian-Iranians responsible for translating and making public the Hamid Mohammadi article, would like to make a statement to the Iranian media as a whole.

Our true goal was to protect Canada and the Canadians who are so welcoming and accepting of all cultures. As Iranian expatriates we are all aware of the Iranian Embassy’s sinister activities.

A few Iranian news agencies have blamed this article for souring diplomatic relations between Canada and Iran. It is a well known fact that the death of Zahra Kazemi under unimaginable torture in 2003 in Evin prison was the start of these icy relations. More icicles were formed by the arrest and senseless tortures of Saeed Malekpour, Hamid Ghassemi-Shall and Hossein Derakhshan, who are all long time Canadians citizen. As such the translation of this article is not in any way responsible for the poor relations, and to claim otherwise is simply due to the lack of knowledge of Canada’s ongoing frustration with Iran’s present regime. The tough sanctions on Iran put forth by Canada were in effect long before the interview in question. It could not have been of any help when President Ahmedinejad, denied the existence of the Holocaust in an International interview or when the Vice President of Iran, Mr. Rahimi very recently made anti-Semitic remarks in a UN sponsored event, not to mention this regime repeated asinine threats to annihilate another country.
