Kazemi photos should not be censored. Letter sent to The Montreal Gazette, Globe and Mail National Post

Kazemi's photos should not be censored, Gazette headline. Kazemi’s son takes Cote St Luc library to the Human Rights Commission. The reason his mother’s photo exhibit was taken down from the library exhibition hall. Because people complained. He claims it is a justified criticism and adds my mother did criticize Iran. She was killed because she took photos of a protest in Iran.

Kazemi is politically to the left, hence she criticizes the theocratic oligarchy, the Ayatollahs. However, Kazemi does not criticize Iran for its the treatment of Jews.

Her exhibit criticizes the Zionist State. She can be pro-Palestinian without being biased and anti-Zionist. Because, she censors the voice of Jews from Iran, who lost their citizenship, their rights, their savings, their land. They were sent into exile stateless and penniless. They were jailed, tortured, imprisoned and even hung in front of cheering crowds in Teheran, between 1947 and 1967. Zionism in Iran is sedition punishable by life imprisonment or death. Iran 1995, 13 Jewish men were accused of being Zionists. They were tried, and are still in prison.

Canada accepted a few thousand Jewish refugees from Iran, they came settled, opened business and became Canadian citizens. Their voices have been censored. WHY?
