Canada-Iran relations strained by killing verdict
The Iranian government has said that it agrees with the acquittal of a secret agent who had been charged with the killing of an Iranian-Canadian photojournalist, but Canada protested the verdict, hinting at further action to pressure the Middle Eastern country to find out the truth.
Mohammad Reza Aghdam Ahmadi was cleared on Saturday of killing Zahra Kazemi, who died of a fractured skull and brain haemorrhage in detention last July.
