Zahra Kazemi - Will Justice ever prevail?/

Normally people start their blogs with a brief description of themselves maybe something detailing their aims and ambitions or maybe their hobbies.. But not me! Today i wanna rant and rave about something important to me .. The issue of Zahra Kazemi.

For those of you who have never heard of her she was an Iranian-Canadian Photojournalist who was killed in the notorious prisons of Evin after taking pictures of a protest outside the prison.

This was in 2003 however the issue has been brought up again recently in the news ' Canada withdraws from Iran event' . Justice was never served for Zahra Kazemi as '
Iran insists she died after fainting and hitting her head'- even though it was actually proven that a member of the secret service had beaten her in prison !!!

Since the day i heard this story till now my heart fills with sorrow not just for this woman but for all the woman and men who are suffering for no reason in Iran's jails. It makes me wonder just how many people suffered the same plight of Zahra Kazemi who didn't have any links to any western country and were simply forgotten!!

To me Zahra Kazemi is not just one person & one isolated case she is like a representative for all those who died at the hands of these brutal people and just like i hope for Zahra Kazemi i hope all of them get the justice they deserve.
