Earlier this week I reported a National Post story about Iran admitting to the murder of Zahra Kazemi, the charges for which had been dropped last year when her death was ruled "accidental". Since then, I have been checking the news sources every day to see if there have been further developments, and if Canada has responded. Today was the first time I found anything: this terribly short piece in the Globe & Mail.

The federal government has asked its ambassador to Iran to press that country over an Iranian envoy's admission that photojournalist Zahra Kazemi was murdered. Iran's ambassador to Britain made the remarks this week, contradicting the official ruling, which called the death accidental.

"We continue to demand a transparent trial where the person or persons responsible for this brutal murder will be brought to justice," said a spokesperson for Foreign Affairs Minister Pierre Pettigrew.

That's it, that's the whole article. I can't help but hang my head in shame at my country doing nothing over Iran's admission of guilt. Canada is the first one to jump on the bandwagon of liberals who whine about POWs not getting enough orange juice, or not being able to play golf, or whatever passes for torture at Abu Grhaib and Gitmo. Yet now it is one of their own citizens, who also happens to be of the poor, unfortunate, oppressed-by-the-Yanks Iraqis, and Canada has yet to truly step up the plate.

I will continue to follow what tiny shreds there are to this story.
