More Irony

Canada is going to the UN over the death of a Canadian journalist in Iran:

"I believe it is important that we have independent monitoring and reporting on such cases," Mr. Graham said. "Therefore, we will be asking the United Nation's Commission on Human rights to investigate this."

On Wednesday Mr. Graham accused the Iranian government of not showing "the co-operation and transparency that Canada insisted on" after senior officials with the Canadian embassy met with the chief prosecutor, Saeed Mortazavi, to discuss a judge's report into the death.
...
Numerous media reports have indicated that Mr. Mortazavi may have been present for or participated in the beating of Ms. Kazemi.
I'm sure the UN commission will do loads of good in this case - it's led by Lybia right now.
