Arrest Ahmadinejad

by Jim, 20 March 2008

Irwin Cotler is calling for the arrest and trial of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, for incitement to genocide. Cotler is a former Canadian Minister of Justice and the current human rights critic for the Liberal Party. There is precedent, he said, in the conviction of several Rwandans, including a former prime minister, on such charges by an international court.

From The Jerusalem Post:

…what you have today is the toxic convergence of the advocacy of the most horrific of crimes, namely genocide, embedded in the most virulent of ideologies, namely anti-Semitism, dramatized by the parading in the streets of Teheran of a Shihab-3 missile draped in the emblem with the words, ‘Wipe Israel off the map, as the imam says,’ proving that this is state sanctioned incitement to genocide.

Maybe we can lure him over here with an invitation to speak at McGill.

    He should be tried, sentenced and executed. But really, how important is the order?
