Saeed Malekpour is not a Canadian citizen. Unless he was abducted from Canadian soil I can't see how the Canadian government can justify involvement.

- mankash666 10y agoThe justification is based on human rights. Not on citizenship. Any country can pressure Iran to do the right thing, but Canada seems to be the one the coder preferred to live in.
- dannyobrien 10y agoPrevious Canadian administrations, and the Canadian parliament, have included Saeed's case when criticizing and negotiating with Iran.: it was that stance that in part led to Saeed's previous (two!) death sentences being commuted to life. A return to Canada's previous position would undoubtedly help Saeed now. (I'm the author of the original EFF post)
