Iran dismisses Canada court ruling as "unacceptable"

February 20, 2017


Abstract : Iran's Foreign Ministry rejected on Sunday a recent Canadian court ruling against Iran as "unacceptable," Tehran Times daily reported.

TEHRAN, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Foreign Ministry rejected on Sunday a recent Canadian court ruling against Iran as "unacceptable," Tehran Times daily reported.

"This ruling runs contrary to the basic principles of international law about legal immunity of the governments and their properties, and is unacceptable," the Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi said.

On Feb. 8, the Ontario court ruled that Iran has to pay 300,000 U.S. dollars of the legal costs of the victims of allegedly Iran-sponsored terrorist attacks.

Qasemi said the Canadian court ruled regardless of "international law" and the "principle of the governments' equality."

The Islamic republic has made its complaints about the issue to the Canadian government through related channels, he said.

In June 2016, the same Canadian court also issued another ruling to confirm a verdict of confiscating 13 million U.S. dollars of Iranian assets based on the allegation that Iran has supported the terrorist groups.
