Canada's
Foreign affairs Minister, John Baird issued a statement on Feb. 4 and said: “Canada is deeply troubled
by reports of a drastic surge in executions in Iran. At least 50
executions have been reported in the first month of 2014 alone. Last year, Iran executed more than
600 people.
“We will judge Iran by its
actions, not just by its words. At this rate, Iran is on
track, once again, to have one of the highest rates of execution in the world.
“Despite the electoral promises made by President Hassan Rouhani to improve
people’s lives, Iranians continue to live in fear of arbitrary imprisonment,
torture and execution by the clerical regime.
John Baird added: “Canada deplores Iran’s continued
disregard for due process and human rights violations against its people. The
Iranian people deserve the dignity, respect and freedom that they have been
denied for too long.”

without electricity, Gas and bread. The death of several people have been
linked to the Unprecedented amount of snow
where in some areas fell as much as 2 and half meters. Rural roads in the snow
stricken areas are cut off and just in Gaemshahr there is no news about 113
villages hit by the snowfall. Similarly, in Gilan,
The roofs of many houses and public facilities have collapsed because they
are substandard and with the roads closed and people trapped in their homes,
there is no news about the fate of these people. Hossein Mir Shafi, Deputy
Minister of Roads and Transportation, said that we are not prepared to take
care of rural roads even in light snowfalls; the problem is lack of budget.
This is when the Iranian regime has spent billions of dollars for its nuclear
and missile programs.
