Earthquakes continued to shake northwest Iran Tuesday following the deadly twin quakes that hit the region over the weekend.

Saeed Malekpour, a permanent resident of Canada, traveled to Iran over three years ago to say goodbye to his dying father who was suffering from a brain tumor. What he didn’t know was that his family would soon be faced with yet another adversity: three days after setting foot in the country Malekpour was arrested by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and later sentenced to death.
