Maryam Mombeini, whose husband died in custody in mysterious circumstances, must be allowed to join her family in Canada, son says
The son of an Iranian-Canadian environmentalist who died in a Tehran prison under mysterious circumstances has called on Iran to allow his grieving mother to leave the country.
Maryam Mombeini, 55, was stopped last month by the security guards at Tehran's international airport just before boarding a flight to Canada with her two sons after the death in custody of her husband, Kavous Seyed-Emami.
