Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his foreign minister today demanded that Iran allow the Canadian widow of an environmentalist who died in prison to leave the country.
In a Twitter message, the Canadian leader said: "Iran must allow Maryam Mombeini to leave the country and travel to Canada to be with her family."
He was echoed by Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland, who said in a statement: "We continue to call on Iranian authorities to immediately give Maryam Mombeini, a Canadian citizen, the freedom to return home."
