Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said Wednesday Iran is well determined to push for efforts to discover the real cause(s) of the photo-journalist Zahra Kazemi. Talking to IRNA, Asefi reacted to the statements by the Canadian Foreign Minister as for Kazemi's death and said the remarks by Canadian FM on the death of an Iranian journalist were "unacceptable".
He commented on a move by Canada to recall its ambassador to Tehran and said recalling envoys by states for consultations on issues is a usual act in the diplomatic relations. He hoped Canada would refrain from launching "hasty and irrational" remarks that could compound the issue.
A Canadian daily wrote earlier Canada has recalled its envoy to Iran in protest to the Kazemi's burial in Shiraz, capital of Iran's Fars province. Mother of Iranian photographer Kazemi said earlier she wanted the body of her daughter buried in her hometown, Shiraz. In a facsimile sent to IRNA, she said, "In order to prevent any misuse of the tragic incident, I want my beloved daughter's body buried in Shiraz."
