MONTREAL—Iranian-Canadian university professor Homa Hoodfar has returned to Montreal, bringing an end to her detention in a Tehran prison that sparked international condemnation. “It’s is wonderful to be home and united with family and friends again. I’ve had a bitter seven months and the detention has really left me weak and tired,” Hoodfar, 65, told reporters at the Montreal airport Thursday morning. She travelled to Iran in February to see family and do academic research but was arrested in March, just as she was set to return to Montreal. It is not known what Hoodfar was suspected of having done, but her family has said they believe it was related to her research into feminism in Iran.
