(CTV) Canadian human rights advocate and former Liberal justice minister Irwin Cotler — who was the target of an alleged foiled assassination plot by agents of Iran — says he isn’t concerned about the alleged threats, because he has confidence in his protective detail.
Cotler added that he believes the alleged threats against him are not personal, but rather an example of an increasingly aggressive Iranian regime.
“I have excellent protection, and at this point, I don’t worry about it, because I think part of the objective of the Iranian regime is to silence, to intimidate, to harass, and I think we cannot indulge that,” Cotler told CTV News Channel’s Power Play host Vassy Kapelos in an interview Tuesday.
