While relatives of Iranians killed on Flight PS752 were unable to get visas to fly to Canada for memorial services, an Iranian VP\u0027s son is living and working…

Four years ago, Hosseini could be seen strolling the streets of Vancouver during a visit with his daughter, a student in the engineering sciences department at Simon Fraser University. Or he was taking his Nowruz holiday time away from his duties as governor of Kerman province. Or he was in Canada on one of several visits for medical treatment for injuries he sustained to his lungs in the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s. It depends on which fawning Iranian press account you rely on.

Then there was the case of Morteza Talaei, another IRGC alumnus and the notorious former police chief of Tehran back when Canadian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi was arrested and tortured to death in 2003. Talaei was spotted working out in a gym in Richmond Hill, Ont., in December 2021. Apparently in Canada to visit family, when he was asked how he managed to swing a visa from Ottawa, he said it was nobody’s business.

The cabinet minister in question is quite the piece of work. The only woman among Iran’s 12 vice-presidents, Ensieh Khazali is a radical proponent of Iran’s profoundly misogynistic statutory regime and her fervour is sometimes too much even for Iran’s state-controlled news media.
