As It Happens: Wednesday Edition

Part One

Calgary gas attendant
Maryam Rashidi died trying to prevent a truck from stealing gas from the Calgary gas station where she worked; tonight, a family friend tells us about Ms. Rashidi's life. 

Belgium ovaries
When a Belgian woman has her first child, it attracts attention beyond her family -- because she had an ovary removed as a 13-year-old, frozen, and then returned to her body.  

Part Two

Evan Solomon fired

Iran sentence
Mostafa Azizi left his home in Canada to visit Iran -- and now he's been given an eight-year sentence there, for things he wrote on his Facebook page. 

Part Three

The federal government says a Halifax citizenship judge made mistakes in allowing 9 people to become Canadian citizens. They want her rulings overturned. We speak to a long-time immigration lawyer about what might be behind the move. 

Pakistan execution
Aftab Bahadur was executed in Pakistan today, after 22 years on death row. His hanging marks the 150th execution in Pakistan since the lifting of a moratorium in December.
