Kazemi to be buried in Iran: report

Canada's foreign affairs department is looking into reports that Montreal photographer Zahra Kazemi will be buried Wednesday in her birthplace, the Iranian city of Shiraz—despite insistence from Ottawa that her body be returned to Canada.

Agence-France Press and Reuters News Agency quoted government sources, who said the body of Ms. Kazemi, has already been transferred from Tehran to Shiraz.

An official, who declined to give his name, said the decision was in accordance with the wishes of Ms. Kazemi's mother.

Maybe and maybe not. It certainly isn't in accordance with the wishes of her son, nor of the country she long ago adopted as her own.
