I have a friend in Canada (also a web developer) who is from Iran. This underscores for me, their fears regarding visiting their home country. I'm pretty sure if you get arrested, even while visiting with permanent residence in a country such as Canada, you're pretty much screwed.

That's terrible - I wonder what the response would be if the man held dual-citizenship...

  If he held citizenship in any country in addition to or other than Iran, that country would have diplomatic channels to go through to deal with this. Specifically to this case, you would like to think Canada would do more then write a letter to the government of Iran if he had Canadian citizenship, but I do really doubt they would do more than 'tense negotiations.'

  I don't think it would be much different from him being born in Canada, being called John Doe and having completely swedish ancestry and one Canadian passport.
