Although Iranian authorities insist that her death was accidental and that she died of a stroke while being interrogated, Shahram Azam, a former military staff physician who left Iran and sought asylum in Canada in 2004, has stated that he examined Kazemi's body and observed that Kazemi showed obvious signs of torture, including a skull fracture, broken nose, crushed toe, missing fingernails, broken fingers, signs of brutal rape, marks from flogging, deep scratches on her neck, and severe abdominal bruising. The Canadian government, as well as Kazemi's family and supporters, consider her death to be state-sanctioned murder. Her death was the first time an Iranian's death in custody attracted major international attention. Because of her joint citizenship and the circumstances of her death, she has since become an international cause célèbre. In November 2003, Canadian Journalists for Free Expression honoured Kazemi with the Tara Singh Hayer Memorial Award in recognition of her courage in defending the right to free expression . (en)

Le corps de de la photgraphe a été inhumé dans la précipitation, à Shiraz, le 22 juillet 2003, contre la volonté de son fils, Stéphan Hachemi, de nationalité franco-canadienne et résident permanent au Canada. La mère de la journaliste a reconnu publiquement avoir été victime de pressions pour autoriser l’enterrement en Iran. Depuis, les demandes d’exhumation et de rapatriement du corps au Canada sont restées vaines. L'ONG Reporters sans frontières s'est associeé à une demande des avocats de la famille de la victime pour qu’un juge indépendant des services du procureur de Téhéran Saïd Mortazavi, soit nommé par l’ayatollah Shahroudi, chef de pouvoir judiciaire, afin de vérifier l’ensemble du dossier et de procéder à une reconstitution des faits.

  • Zahra «Ziba» Kazemi-Ahmadabadi (زهرا کاظمی احمدآبادی på persisk)‎ var en iransk freelance-fotograf som bodde i Montreal, Canada, og som ble arrestert i Iran for å ha tatt bilder av Evin-fengselet. Hun døde men hun var i varetekt. Det iranske regimet hevdet først at dødsfallet skyldtes et hjerneslag. Etter sterkt internasjonalt press utnevnte president Mohammad Khatami en etterforskningsgruppe som i august 2003 konkluderte med at dødsfallet skyldtes en hjerneblødning som følge av slag mot hodet. En forhørsleder fra etteretningsvesenet ble pågrepet for drapet, men ble i 2004 frikjent. Shahram Azam, en tidligere militærlege som forlot Iran og søkte asyl i Canada i 2004, har sagt at han undersøkte Kazemis kropp etter dødsfallet og kunne se tegn på voldtekt og tortur. Han så blant annet brudd på hjerneskallen, brudd på nesen, en knust tå, brekte fingre og blåmerker på kroppen. Canada anser Kazemis dødsfall som et mord. (no)
