Introduction:
On the 11th of July 2003, the Government of Iran officially announced the death of Ziba Zahra Kazemi, Canadian photojournalist. The agents of the Iranian government have beaten and tortured her, because she was faithful to the truth, because she was doing her work. The Government of Iran thus inscribed one more time its systematic violation of Human Rights in the pages of History. It shrugs its shoulders: it did it thousands of times before, and, with the almost unanimous silence of the international community, the absence of concrete measures from the Government of Canada, it continues.
Despite the unanimous protest of Ziba Kazemi’s family, her body has still not been repatriated to her home, in Montreal, Canada.
