Bahram Ghasemi condemned the murder of an Iranian citizen by the Canadian police and said “unfortunately, we have been informed that an Iranian citizen, Babak Saidi, who suffered from an illness was shot dead by the Canadian police force.”

“We have been investigating the details of the incident and we are pursuing the case officially. We demand answers in this regard from the Canadian government,” Ghasemi added.

“Iranians residing in Canada encounter numerous problems in claiming their consulate rights.
