Akbar Manoussi
Islamists, Iran, and the RCMP: the government responds
From yesterday’s House of Commons proceedings:
Islamists, Iran, and the RCMP’s “cultural diversity”
A conference on “Just and Sustainable Peace” raises eyebrows in Ottawa
The Green party, Akbar Manoussi, and Iran
Among Canadian invitees to conferences hosted by the Iranian government this spring and summer was one Akbar Manoussi, a former candidate for the Green Party of Ontario and Canada. Manoussi’s titles and affiliations, which are almost comical in their pompous absurdity, have included: “secretary general” of the “Iranian Scholars Association of Canada,” which appears to exist only on the Internet and which has a membership list that may be limited to Manoussi himself; and “director general” of the “Iranian Cultural Centre” in Ottawa, which is run out of the Iranian embassy.
