  1. Why should this be a big story in Canada – a Brit. executed for spying in Iran? So far in 2023, 12 Palestinians have been executed in Palestine by regime militias and settlers. In 2022 it was about 150. They had no trial.

  2. With all due respect the West has been straight assassinating people without trial for decades including but not limited to thousands of innocent drone bombing victims. This guy was tried and found guilty to be a spy.

  4. The entire world is appalled and disgusted with the violent Islamic Regime in Iran. The Regime must be overthrown and brought before the World Court for Crimes Against Humanity. Power to the Iranian Freedom Fighters.

  5. It is unwise for anybody to make visits "home" to any country run by a ruthless dictator who himself is "the law". Such countries include Iran, Russia, North Korea, Saudi Arabia and several others.
