<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>She took PICTURES of a PROTEST. And for that she was arrested, beaten and killed. And now the Iranians won't release her body to be inturned in Canada. Wise up guy, I don't see why we should give aid to a country like this, and I agree with the Governments hard line approach. Oh yeah, even the Iranian Canadian groups are against Iran on this.</div>

So because of all that, the actions of a very few people, One hundred million other people are supposed to suffer?</div>
