TEHRAN (CP) - Iran summoned Canada's charge d'affaires Saturday to
protest the shooting death of an Iranian teenager in a Vancouver suburb,
while the youth's father threatened to sue the police officer who pulled
the trigger.
Gilles Poirier was summoned to Iran's Foreign Ministry to discuss the
July 14 shooting of 18-year-old Iranian Keyvan Tabesh by a plainclothes
officer in the Vancouver suburb of Port Moody, a diplomat said on
condition of anonymity. He did not elaborate. Tabesh's killing worsened
relations between Canada and Iran, which had already been soured with
July 10 death of Canadian journalist Zahra Kazemi while in police
custody in Tehran. She died in hospital after being arrested
photographing anti-government protests. Iran's government has admitted
she was fatally beaten.
On Friday, Iran's Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi demanded a thorough
investigation into Tabesh's death and accused Canadian police of
criminal action.
Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham responded to Kharrazi's remarks by
sending a diplomatic note to the Iranian Embassy outlining the "open and
transparent" way Canadian investigations are conducted and urging the
same treatment from the Iranian government.
Police said Tabesh of Burnaby, B.C., was waving a machete and running
toward a police officer, who then shot him. Tabesh was an Iranian
citizen who had been living in Canada for about two years.
Meanwhile, in New York, the teen's father told the Islamic Republic News
Agency (IRNA) that he plans to sue the officer who allegedly shot his
son during an altercation with three Iranian nationals.
Dr. Nasser Tabesh said police had no right to shoot at young people
without exercising caution.
"My son was on his way to bring two of his friends to their homes when
he was shot in the heart by a person who did not even resemble a
policeman and who did not even address him before shooting," Tabesh said
of the plainclothes officer.
He also dismissed police statements that the teen had been shot in
"self-defence."
"My son was absolutely innocent," Tabesh said.
Kazemi, 54, was buried in her birthplace, the southern Iranian city of
Shiraz, on Wednesday against the wishes of Canadian authorities and her
son, who lives in Montreal. Canada subsequently withdrew its ambassador
to Tehran to protest Iran's handling of the case.
An official at the Tehran prosecutor's office said Friday that a veteran
judge has been appointed to launch an independent inquiry into her
death.

The notable phrasing to note here is "souring already strained relations between Iran and canada" because as long as you can keep the brownies/muslims/left wing radicals/commies fighting amongst themselves and torturing each other while somewhere discreet billions are paid into a nameless"dictators" swiss or cayman islands account,then "good ole uncle sams interests" are protected in the name of the financial whizzkid jew-boys like wolfowitz who will fund your islamic militant paranoi so long as it seals in with the incredibly insane "new world order,order through chaos" absurd "foreign policy".......
Well it seems the euphemistically entitled
"council on foreign relations" have been working thier covert n well heeled asses off to
further use Psycological Chaos,warfare,and media-led brainwashing to always ensure that "foreing relations" remain as strained and as unwholesome as possible.....Remeber that the paedophile satanist like the one's behind bush and blair employ reverse symbolism
in evberything they do say and think.......serving the devil in thier imagination....duuh..
So the "council on foreign relations" is a front for psy-ops,and deniable ops to keep political power in the "HANDS" OF YOU KNOW WHO and the ecomonic might for you know who duuhhh.......
They leave signs these CIA bozos.....which proves that no matter what you do and no matter how covert it's supposed to be you will still leave markers which are usually invisible to the "normal" programmed brain....
Hey nothing to fear here...just keeping you all abreast of the kind of well-heeled lunatics who we are unwittingle allowing to "run the show"....Isn't it time we stopped fighting and freed our minds from their long distance grip and took their power from them??
It's all so simple no need to fight here no need to defend your bullshit "socialist" ideaologies here,just stop watching Television and having your "world view" and thoughts of it and around being deliberately and electromagnetically programmed......
Did you notice the Link between Logie pedo baird and Nikolai Tesla "ineventing" things for MInd control at almost exactly the same time....
But if you must respond in angst and deny that you are being technologically mentally controlled,then that's your choice but hey you can free yourselves and your electromagnetically programmed minds at any given time you see fit.....
