A few weeks later, Iran announced that Seyed-Emami was dead. This wouldn’t even be the first time a Canadian has died while under Iranian custody at Evin. Maryam Mombeini had travelled to Iran with her adult sons in hopes of getting some answers. With her family’s financial assets frozen, Mombeini is currently being supported by friends and family in Iran, unable to either care for herself or leave. Now the prime minister is being asked to issue a mere public statement to help this persecuted family.
