Iran dismisses Canada court ruling as "unacceptable"
the Foreign Ministry Bahram Qasemi
Tehran - ArabToday
Iran's Foreign Ministry rejected on Sunday a recent Canadian court ruling against Iran as "unacceptable," Tehran Times daily reported.
"This ruling runs contrary to the basic principles of international law about legal immunity of the governments and their properties, and is unacceptable," the Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi said.
On Feb. 8, the Ontario court ruled that Iran has to pay 300,000 U.S. dollars of the legal costs of the victims of allegedly Iran-sponsored terrorist attacks.
Qasemi said the Canadian court ruled regardless of "international law" and the "principle of the governments' equality."

The Islamic republic has made its complaints about the issue to the Canadian government through related channels, he said.
In June 2016, the same Canadian court also issued another ruling to confirm a verdict of confiscating 13 million U.S. dollars of Iranian assets based on the allegation that Iran has supported the terrorist groups.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
