1. (S) Reftel requested USG views on GOC plans to list
Hizb-i-Islami (HIG),Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and the Mujahedin-e
Khalq (MEK) under Canada's criminal code. Canadian Deputy
Ministers met on April 1 and decided in principle to list
MEK. However, given political sensitivities that listing
will probably be delayed. (Note: Canada is responding
strongly to recent reports, from a physician who saw her
body, that a Canadian-Iranian journalist was raped and
tortured before her death in Iranian custody. GOC
participation in a "Doing Business in Iran" trade show has
been cancelled and other avenues of exerting pressure and
expressing anger at her treatment and the subsequent lies by
the GOI are being explored. End note.)


2. (S) On HIG, the Deputy Ministers wondered why partner
countries (i.e., the US) had not listed the entity despite
having listed the associated individual, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar
(listed on the OFAC site under Hekmatyar). They would
welcome background on USG views on HIG.
