Case of Mostafa Dadar
Karlsbad, March 2006
Dear Minister,
As amnesty international informed me about the current situation of Mostafa Dadar, I have to say, that I am really concerned that the Canadian authorities are preparing to forcibly return Mostafa Dadar to Iran, where he would be at risk of torture or even execution.
That is why I call on the authorities to ensure that he is not forcibly returned to Iran, in accordance with their obligations under international law, because this is their duty.
I also would like to remind that forcibly returning anyone to a country where they would be at risk of torture is absolutely prohibited under international law, and that the forcible return of Mostafa Dadar to Iran would violate Canada’s obligations under the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.
Trusting in betterness of menkind,
Yours sincerely,
