STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPTS Hundreds of Iranians families now face inadmissibility because conscripts are unfairly treated as members. @pfragiskatos @LenaMetlegeDiab @gary_srp @jacquesramsaypl #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPTS A person's past circumstances matter. Please examine the facts of each case instead of making assumptions based on compulsory conscription. @SameerZuberi @gary_srp #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

Our demand is clear: a fair IRCC guideline for people forced into conscription. No one should be automatically equated with voluntary IRGC membership simply because they were conscripted. STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPTS! @globeandmail @nationalpost @CP24 #JusticeForIranianConscripts

We are not asking for special treatment. We are asking for fairness. Forced conscription is not voluntary membership, and families deserve a clear and just process. STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPTS! @pfragiskatos @LenaMetlegeDiab @CBCNews #JusticeForIranianConscripts

STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPTS! Outside IRCC and CBSA offices right now! We are asking Canadian leaders to stop turning away productive, peaceful members of society over involuntary youth obligations. Justice requires assessing who individuals actually are, not applying blanket categories. 📸 Photos from today’s gathering attached below. ✅ Tomorrow we gather again! We invite all major media representatives to report on our peaceful stand. @CBCNews @CTVNews @globalnews @CityNews @CanadianPress @globeandmail @nationalpost @CP24 @CBCToronto @CTVToronto @CityNewsTO @globalnewsto @TorontoStar @CBCOttawa @ctvottawa @OttawaCitizen @pfragiskatos @LenaMetlegeDiab @gary_srp @jacquesramsaypl @JulieDzerowicz @MichelleRempel @SameerZuberi @amansodhilib @BradRedekopp @SimaAcan @CostasMenegakis @jyduclos @MarcusPowlowski STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPTS #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPTS. We ask IRCC and CBSA to distinguish compulsory conscription from voluntary membership. One military record cannot replace a careful individual assessment. We will be there tomorrow. Journalists, please join us. @CBCNews @CTVNews @nationalpost @gary_srp @jacquesramsaypl @SimaAcan #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPTS! Gathering outside IRCC and CBSA offices today to call for immigration integrity. A system that punishes victims of mandatory state duties while failing to differentiate between willing actors and involuntary conscripts needs urgent reform. 📸 Photos from today's peaceful protest attached. ✅ We return tomorrow morning! Members of the press are urged to attend and shed light on these arbitrary rulings. @CBCNews @CTVNews @globalnews @CityNews @CanadianPress @globeandmail @nationalpost @CP24 @CBCToronto @CTVToronto @CityNewsTO @globalnewsto @TorontoStar @CBCOttawa @ctvottawa @OttawaCitizen @pfragiskatos @LenaMetlegeDiab @gary_srp @jacquesramsaypl @JulieDzerowicz @MichelleRempel @SameerZuberi @amansodhilib @BradRedekopp @SimaAcan @CostasMenegakis @jyduclos @MarcusPowlowski STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPTS #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPTS. Conscripts never chose this path. Their families deserve fairness, dignity, and individual assessments. A conscript should never automatically be treated as a willing regime member. @CBCNews @CTVNews @globalnews @pfragiskatos @LenaMetlegeDiab @gary_srp

STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPTS! Forced conscription does not equal voluntary membership in the IRGC. We need a clear, fair IRCC guideline that recognizes this difference. Please cover our peaceful sit-in in Ottawa tomorrow. @CTVNews @CP24 @globeandmail #JusticeForIranianConscripts

STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPTS! In front of IRCC and CBSA offices today, voices are raised for fairness! Mandatory national duty in youth was not a political statement or personal endorsement. It was an unavoidable legal requirement for every young male. Applying sweeping security bans against former conscripts decades later violates natural justice. 📸 Pictures from today’s gathering are attached. ✅ Tomorrow we will gather once again! Journalists and camera crews are encouraged to join us to capture our peaceful fight for human dignity. @CBCNews @CTVNews @globalnews @CityNews @CanadianPress @globeandmail @nationalpost @CP24 @CBCToronto @CTVToronto @CityNewsTO @globalnewsto @TorontoStar @CBCOttawa @ctvottawa @OttawaCitizen @pfragiskatos @LenaMetlegeDiab @gary_srp @jacquesramsaypl @JulieDzerowicz @MichelleRempel @SameerZuberi @amansodhilib @BradRedekopp @SimaAcan @CostasMenegakis @jyduclos @MarcusPowlowski STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPTS #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

STOP REFUSING CONSCRIPTS Education. Career. Family. Stability. A bright future. These are what they seek — not membership in anything.
