TEHRAN, Iran (CP) - In eight dramatic hours of a public trial, lawyers for the mother of a slain Iranian-Canadian photojournalist blamed a hardline judiciary official for the murder of Zahra Kazemi while in detention, not the intelligence agent standing trial for the crime.
Canadian ambassador Philip Mackinnon was allowed to attend the trial, despite an earlier refusal by the Iranian authorities, who considered the case "a domestic affair".
Outraged at the refusal, Ottawa recalled the ambassador to Iran earlier this week and threatened economic and trade sanctions.
Mohammad Reza Aghdam Ahmadi, the agent and only person implicated by the judiciary in what is called the "semi-premeditated murder" of Kazemi, pleaded innocent. The victim's mother, Ezzat Kazemi, wept and demanded justice.
