Mahsa Amini death: Iran protester's execution painful for Canadian politician advocating for him

Twenty-three-year-old Mohammad Ghobadlou is the ninth person to have been executed in Iran in connection to nationwide protests that rocked Iran in 2022 after the in-custody death of Mahsa Jina Amini.

Member of Parliament for Cloverdale-Langley City John Aldag was a political sponsor of Ghobadlou. He felt connected to him after taking on his sponsorship last year.

Aldag says he has children the same age as Ghobadlou and felt he had like a father-son bond with him.

He took to social media to try and raise awareness to prevent his execution and said he felt helpless when he learned the news.
