In the hearing session conducted on June 12, 2024, chaired by @AliEhsassi to discuss the listing of the IRGC, some attendees raised concerns about the impact of this designation on former conscripts who had no choice or control over their conscription. Given the urgency of

For more than three days, Iran has been cut off from the world. Internet shut down. Landlines and mobile phones disconnected. Nearly 90 million people taken hostage by the regime. When silence is enforced like this, we fear the worst. We fear that grave crimes are happening out

In solidarity with the people of Iran who continue to resist oppression at great personal risk. Conscripts are part of these people. They are oppressed, threatened, and humiliated by the same regime. They are not supporters—they are victims of forced conscription, stripped of

Dear Prime Minister @MarkJCarney Protesters in Iran are chanting that regime officials’ children live freely in Canada while their own children are in prison. Canada has gained a shameful reputation as a safe haven for a murderous regime responsible for thousands of deaths,

As we enter the New Year, our community begins a second year of uncertainty and struggle. For many families affected by the treatment of former IRGC conscripts, the past year has been defined by waiting, fear, and unanswered questions. Our voices were raised early, but it took

#Family, a powerful and beautiful word and one that has been devastated for thousands of Iranian former conscripts and their families. By unjustly treating conscripts as members of a listed org, families have been shattered. Parents, spouses, and children are living in limbo,

Special thanks to @GarnettGenuis for shedding light on what is happening in reality, despite IRCC’s ‘case-by-case’ responses. The reality is that Canada has failed to protect conscripts after the listing. While @KenHardie , a member of the @liberal_party , believes sufficient

For years, we pushed to have the IRGC listed as a terrorist organization in Canada. Thankfully, this became a reality June 2024. We hope the government puts the right resources and mechanisms to properly enforce this designation. One critical issue was not properly addressed,

We’re grateful to the Conservative MP @GarnettGenuis who spoke openly and in depth about the injustice facing former IRGC conscripts. Thank you to the Conservative Party for seeing us as human beings, not collateral damage of a policy gone wrong, and for acknowledging the harm

Glad @GarnettGenuis is speaking up about the IRGC conscripts being hurt by the terror listing in Canada. I pushed hard for that listing, but our consistent demand (ignored by the Trudeau govt) was that conscripts be exemp. @MarkJCarney can fix this. https://t.co/QUZ16Rh0MR

Canada’s decision to list Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization has left thousands of Iranian conscripts facing legal uncertainty. Conservative MP @GarnettGenuis explains in an interview with @MortazaviMahsa why he believes the government failed to

On #HumanRightsDay, it’s also important to recognize another overlooked problem: Iranian individuals who were forced into conscription and are being treated as members of an organization they had no choice but to serve. These are ordinary people who completed an obligatory

Today, on International Human Rights Day, we are reminded that justice means protecting the vulnerable, not punishing them. IRGC conscripts are victims of forced conscription under a brutal regime. They had no choice, no agency, no voice, and no involvement in IRGC activities.

#IranianFormerConscripts have been victimized from every angle. Two years of youth lost to forced service in Iran, the silence of influential figures like @esmaeilion who chose not to speak up after clear promises were broken, and now a report by an @IranIntl journalist claiming,

Before the IRGC listing, we were promised conscripts wouldn't be affected. After the listing, we were assured decisions would be made case by case to avoid penalizing people for mandatory service they couldn't refuse. But the first "case-by-case" outcome just released is a

@IranIntl @MortazaviMahsa, please share the full, original response from the Minister. Transparency is important, and the community deserves to see the exact wording.

The response from the Minister of Immigration to @IranIntl regarding the recent Federal Court ruling on an IRGC conscript (Vadiati) is absurd and unacceptable. They claimed the applicant “admitted membership” and that the officer applied the several-factor test to assess the

@grand_chestnut have deep sympathy for the families of forced conscripts, innocent people who never chose to serve and who do not deserve to be treated as if they did. Recently, I met with a group of affected families to listen to their fears, their hardships, and the very real challenges they

اشاره‌ای دوباره دربابِ تروریستی اعلام‌ شدنِ «تبلیغاتیِ » سپاه در کانادا و یک پی‌نوشتِ عجیب! —— درسِ تجربه به ما نشان داده است که تروریستی اعلام کردن سپاه از سوی کشورهای مختلف، بازی تبلیغاتی بی‌معنایی بوده و هست که یگانه برآیندش تا به امروز، به نشانه‌گیریِ اهدافِ آسان و بی‌دلیل،
