Human rights abuses in Canada

“Terrorism”, “justice”, “human rights”, “peace and security”, and scores of other words are combined with unreal concepts by the Westerners, who wage wars against others with the very literature.

They call Palestinian freedom-seekers as “terrorists”. They have invaded Iraq to secure “peace and security!”

Using nuclear technology, even for peaceful purposes, is only permissible for only those countries which observe the Western version of human rights.

But despite the Westerners’ widespread propaganda and influence on the world’s giant mass media, there is no room for their logics in the world of politics. They do not even believe in their own-made world.

The gap between words and action in political arena is wide. Canada’s funny gesture of philanthropy is a striking example. The morals-loving country, which every now and then becomes worried about human rights, gives bad or good marks to others while experts believe Canada is openly violating human rights.

Canada’s claims on violation or observation of human rights in other countries are quite surprising in that both Canada and Western countries, especially the United States, that pretend to be forerunners of defending human rights on the East and West, do not believe in their own slogans.

They violate human rights or international regulations when their own interests are at stake. A country like Canada, that receives the bulk of finance and scientific update from immigrants, fails to meet the basic demands of these people. Xenophobia makes it adopt discriminatory measures, not only against the Asian, African and Caribbean nationals, but also against its aborigines and racial and religious minorities. In addition to their political life, such discriminations are imposed in their housing, education, employment and medical services.

Canada’s gesture of justice-seeking becomes more striking when it gives citizenship to the members of a terrorist group who have committed endless crimes in Iran and Iraq, and who are considered terrorists in many Western countries.

A Canadian police murders an innocent Iranian national, detains or deports Iranian immigrants for some vague accusations, and its government paves the ground for ratification of a resolution on the breach of human rights against other countries. How does the Canadian government fail to pursue the murder case of Keyvan Tabesh, the Iranian national, killed by the Canadian police?

Through creating a blurred media atmosphere and propaganda commotions, the Canadian government has deprived Tabesh family from restoring his rights, so that another ring would be added to its chain of anti-Iran measures.

As far as they have not specified their attitudes in the current controversial issues, the Canadians cannot pretend to be a forerunner in observing human rights. They should not use human rights as a weapon against other nations.

There are various other unreported human rights abuses in Canada that must be really put on international judgment.
