STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPTS Some Iranian forced conscripts have openly opposed the Islamic Republic after coming to Canada. Sending them back could expose them to serious consequences. We are peacefully outside IRCC in Ottawa. Reporters, please come hear their stories. @pfragiskatos @LenaMetlegeDiab @gary_srp @jacquesramsaypl @JulieDzerowicz @MichelleRempel @SameerZuberi @amansodhilib @BradRedekopp @SimaAcan @CostasMenegakis @jyduclos @rhondaforoshawa @MarcusPowlowski @AliEhsassi @CBCNews @CTVNews @globalnews @CityNews @CanadianPress @globeandmail @nationalpost @CP24 @CBCToronto @CTVToronto @CityNewsTO @globalnewsto @TorontoStar @CBCOttawa @ctvottawa #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

Families are standing up for fairness in the cold. Forced conscription is not voluntary IRGC membership. We’ll be outside IRCC and Public Safety Canada again tomorrow. Journalists, please join us. @CP24 @CBCToronto @CTVToronto STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPTS #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

wives and children, including young children, have received letters threatening a ban from Canada because the father was drafted. Men who told the truth face a ban with their families. School, work, travel ... #ConscriptsAreNotMembers @UCAN_Advocacy @LenaMetlegeDiab @CanBorder

STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPTS Conscription under penalty of law isnot consent nor is it organizational membership Punishing conscripts and their families through blanket policy rejections fails every basic standard of human rights #ConscriptsAreNotMembers #JusticeForIranianConscripts

STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPTS! Iranian compulsory conscripts are victims of the regime, not its supporters. Canada must recognize the difference. @pfragiskatos @LenaMetlegeDiab @gary_srp @jacquesramsaypl #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPTS The people standing outside IRCC in Ottawa are engineers, nurses, students, business owners and parents. They pay taxes, volunteer and raise their children in Canada. They were forced to serve a regime they later escaped. Today they ask only to be judged on who they are and what they have done. @CBCNews @CTVNews @globalnews @CityNews @CanadianPress @globeandmail @nationalpost @CP24 @CBCToronto @CTVToronto @CityNewsTO @globalnewsto @TorontoStar @CBCOttawa @ctvottawa @pfragiskatos @LenaMetlegeDiab @gary_srp @jacquesramsaypl @JulieDzerowicz @MichelleRempel @SameerZuberi @amansodhilib @BradRedekopp @SimaAcan @CostasMenegakis @jyduclos @rhondaforoshawa @MarcusPowlowski #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers
