(Israel Hayom) Miri Weissman - Canadian law enforcement authorities recently foiled an Iranian plot to assassinate Irwin Cotler, a prominent human rights advocate and former Canadian justice minister, the Globe and Mail reported Monday, citing the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). Cotler has been under 24/7 Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) protection for over a year. Since 2008, he has spearheaded a global campaign to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. He has also represented Iranian political prisoners and strongly supports Israel.
