I truly hope for his safe passage from this incarceration, however if Canada were to prorate its effort to match the extent to which Derakhshan expressed fealty to or respect for Canada, I don’t see a lot happening in his defence.

I didn’t protect Canadian-Iranian journalist Zahra Kazemi, unfortunately.
