Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Honorable Lawrence Cannon, has reiterated Canada’s deep concern of the “ongoing failure of the Iranian authorities to meet their domestic and international legal obligations. The Government of Canada stands firmly with the people of Iran against human rights abuses and discrimination, as well as ill treatment of women and minorities.” “We once again urge the Government of Iran to reverse the deterioration of its human rights situation and to meet its legal obligations, which include ensuring due process for all those who remain in detention,” said Mr. Cannon.
