Tehran, July 24 - Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi on Thursday condemned killing Iranian national Keyvan Tabesh and injuring the other Amir Aqaei by the Canadian police and the news blackout imposed on the "criminal act" there.
The Canadian police attacked three Iranian nationals in Vancouver on Tuesday morning killing Keyvan Tabesh and injuring Amir Aqaie.
Canada imposed a news blackout on mass media during the past two days.
Asefi raised the "ambiguity" of the "criminal act" committed by the Canadian police.
"The crime perpetrated by Canadian police which is responsible for the security of the society, has caused fear and horror among the Iranian community in Canada," he said.
The strict censorship imposed on the incident has added to the ambiguity of the issue, Asefi added.
The Islamic Republic of Iran will urge the Canadian government, through diplomatic channels, to deliver prompt, transparent and satisfying explanation on the horrifying crime, he said.
The spokesman said that the Islamic Republic of Iran calls on the Canadian government to bring to justice those responsible for the crime.
