Iranian Shadow

I was waiting for two of my friends to come to Canada this month. One of them was to come for International women conference, the other, as I said in previous post, was in her way to university. It was really frustrating when I heard both of them got rejected by Canadian embassy in Iran. They was told because of Iranian-Canadian prisoner's case, not much visas will be issued. Even parents didn't get visa for visiting children this week.

I like to be positive; I am still hoping that my mom is coming some day.

Here is my question. What is the relationship between issuing visa and releasing Ramin Jahanbegloo? Does Canada want to push Iranian regime to respect the human right? It is not the right way. Iranian regime doesn't care even if nobody gets visa.

An innocent Iranian Canadian professor goes to prison, a mother can’t come to see her child, and a student gives up her education. They pay the price of being-Iranian and… who cares?

I am sure that no Canadian has ever paid such a price for being-Canadian!
