Montreal – A Canadian-Iranian journalist who suffered the same plight as a Montreal academic currently jailed in Iran has some advice for her supporters and the federal government: speak out early and often.
Heaping pressure on the Iranian government is the only way to secure freedom in cases like that of retired Concordia University professor Homa Hoodfar, Maziar Bahari told The Canadian Press on Tuesday.
“You need to publicize these cases as soon as possible and put pressure on the Iranian officials as soon as possible,” he said from London.
