Thank you, @BradRedekopp for speaking out on this important issue. The distinction between ordinary Iranians compelled to serve under an authoritarian regime and genuine IRGC members who aligned with and supported the organization is essential.
At a time when IRGC supporters are openly active in our communities, we must not allow inflated numbers achieved by targeting former conscripts to create a false impression of progress in combating terrorism.
Transparent screening criteria are essential to both fairness and national security. They reassure innocent families that Canada remains committed to human rights while helping ensure genuine threats are identified, and those responsible are not overlooked.
Special thanks to @CPC_HQ for openly supporting this cause and calling for accountability. Real accountability means identifying the perpetrators—not counting the victims.

The Liberals National Security Strategy fails to explain how the government will keep actual terrorists and regime operatives out of the country.
At the same time, Iranians who were forced into mandatory IRGC conscription with no choice are being caught up in the screening system.
That’s dangerous incompetence.

Thank you @BradRedekopp, for raising this critical issue.
Canadians deserve a national security system that identifies genuine threats—not one that mistakes people forced into mandatory conscription for willing supporters of a regime.
When Canada distinguishes coercion from voluntary participation, it strengthens security, protects the integrity of its immigration system, and ensures resources are focused on those who pose real risks.
Canada can protect its people and uphold its values of fairness and justice at the same time. We urge the government to ensure that every case is assessed on individual evidence, not conscription alone.

Mr. Ehsassi (@AliEhsassi ), and Mr. Esmaeilion (@esmaeilion), please look closely at this photograph.
This child should be enjoying childhood, not standing outside an IRCC office holding a protest sign, worried about their family’s future. When you advocated for the IRGC’s designation, you said you asked the gov to exempt conscripts. Yet, critical questions remain unanswered.
Why was no representative of conscripts or their families included in those discussions?
Who was there to explain the realities of compulsory service?
What role did the testimony and publications of individuals such as Golkar and Arabi play?
Hundreds of Iranian families are now facing devastating uncertainty. The gov remains accountable for its decisions. But those who participated in the advocacy process also owe these families transparency about what was presented, whose voices were heard, and what efforts are being made to address the consequences.
This child deserves answer.

#ConscriptsAreNotMembers
Day 1 of a 3-day peaceful gathering in Ottawa.
Families of former Iranian conscripts are outside IRCC and CBSA offices, speaking for thousands across Canada who disclosed their conscription honestly and transparently—yet face inadmissibility findings that affect their entire families including minor children.
Evidence from affected families shows that conscription alone is being treated as IRGC membership, despite previous assurances from the government.
Our request is simple: meet with IRCC senior decision-makers, explain how these cases are assessed, and listen to affected families.
Canada must have clear guidelines that distinguishes forced conscripts from voluntary IRGC members. Fairness, transparency, and family unity matter.

🚨 MEDIA ALERT — LIVE DEMONSTRATION OUTSIDE IRCC IN OTTAWA
STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPTS
We are outside IRCC RIGHT NOW.
Yesterday, we stood here asking for justice. Today, we are back because Iranian families facing immigration refusals over forced conscription still need answers.
We are not asking for special treatment. We are demanding fair treatment.
Canadian media: Come interview affected families TODAY. Our stories deserve to be heard, and we are here to speak directly with you.
Our peaceful protests will continue until our demands are addressed.

📍 RIGHT NOW — Outside IRCC in Ottawa.
We gathered yesterday. We returned today. We will continue standing peacefully until Canadian authorities address the immigration refusals affecting Iranian families subjected to forced conscription.
Canada must distinguish victims of forced conscription from voluntary IRGC members.
To Canadian journalists: We are at IRCC NOW. Please come, speak with the families and report on what is happening.
