This takes balls the size of a bean bag chair.

I just can't find the snark to go with this.

Canada unjust in Kazemi case, Iranian official says
An Iranian official leading the latest investigation into the 2003 death of Canadian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi is accusing Ottawa of illegal and biased behaviour in the case.

Javad Larijani, secretary of Iran's Human Rights Commission, told CBC News that the probe of the Montreal-based freelance journalist's death while in Iranian custody is expected to wrap up in two to three months.

"I think the position of the Canadian government is biased and unjustful and is not legal as well," Larijani said.

His harsh words, over Canada's criticisms over how the case has been handled, are the latest in ongoing accusations traded between Ottawa and Tehran over Kazemi's death.

Kazemi, 54, died in custody nearly three weeks after her arrest for taking photographs outside the infamous Evin prison in Tehran during student protests.
