(CTV) Immigration Minister Marc Miller has announced that Canada will prevent an Iranian former minister of health from becoming a temporary resident of Canada for 36 months, citing the regime’s human rights record.
Seyed Hassan Ghazizadeh Hashemi served as the minister of health for the Iranian government from 2013 to 2019 under former president Hassan Rouhani.
As first reported by Iran International, a U.S.-based news outlet targeting the Persian diaspora, screenshots of a promotional video for Quebec’s tourism industry appear to show [Hashemi] walking through the streets of Montreal. CTV News has not independently verified the screenshots.
