To the Editor,
Canada has condemned the murder of blogger Sattar Beheshti by the Islamic Regime in Iran. Mr. Beheshti was tortured and lost his life while in custody. He had been charged with "acting against national security on facebook and other social media". I welcome Canada’s stand on condemning Mr. Beheshti’s murder at the hands of the Regime. Hope the rest of the international community will follow, hopefully this will help prevent such tragedies in the future.
