While CBSA interrogates former IRGC conscripts—victims of forced conscription—they repeatedly ask: “Why did you join the IRGC? Didn’t you know they were terrorists?” What an absurd question! First, there was no “joining”—these men were forced by law. Second, IRGC is Iran's biggest state-funded military organization. How could they have known, decades ago, that Canada would later list the IRGC as a terrorist group? Meanwhile, just days after the IRGC murdered 176 innocent people on Flight PS752, Prime Minister Trudeau smiled and shook hands with Iran’s Foreign Minister—the man who tried to cover up the crime. Didn’t the Canadian government know who they were dealing with? Where is the accountability for them? Why are only innocent conscripts—men enslaved for menial labor—being punished, while real enablers face no consequences? Double standards must end. Labeling IRGC conscripts as willing participants is like blaming a hostage for being captured. @RachelBendayan @DavidMcGuinty @gary_srp @MarkJCarney @JustinTrudeau @PierrePoilievre @MelissaLantsman @LarryBrockMP @RaquelDancho @tomkmiec @CBSANOR @CitImmCanada @liberal_party @CPC_HQ #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

Real IRGC members have money, power, and foreign passports. They travel freely, invest abroad, and face no consequences. IRGC conscripts, on the other hand, were forced by law into menial labor—and now face interrogations, visa refusals, and shattered lives in Canada. This is not justice. This is a system that punishes the powerless while the powerful walk free. We call on the new government to fix this shameful policy. Forced conscription is not a crime. @RachelBendayan @DavidMcGuinty @gary_srp @MarkJCarney @PierrePoilievre @vincentneilho @MelissaLantsman @liberal_party #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

Hello everyone. This is Yasna. She is 14 years old, and for almost eight years she has been separated from her father and brother. Her dad and brother came to Canada as refugee claimants after their lives were in danger in Iran. They later became protected persons and applied for their PR cards, hoping to reunite their family. Instead, their application was delayed far beyond normal timelines and eventually refused. The refusal was based on the fact that her father was conscripted into the Sepah (IRGC) military—something he was forced to do and never wanted. This forced conscription continues to affect his life, Yasna’s life, and their entire family. And many others. Years of separation. Years of waiting. Yasna is asking for help, compassion, and justice so she can finally be reunited with her father and brother. @PierrePoilievre @MelissaLantsman @vincentneilho @CostasMenegakis @MichelleRempel @MarkJCarney @gary_srp @LenaMetlegeDiab @AliEhsassi #ConscriptsAreNotMembers #JusticeForIranianConscripts #FamilyReunification #RefugeeRights

Thank you for your support . This should be done responsibly! Not like what happened in Immigration Canada that has only increased the suffering of forced innocent conscripts. #conscriptsarenotmemebers

Victims of forced IRGC conscription already suffered under a dictatorship. Canada shouldn’t make them suffer again. Please stand against injustice. Many innocent families need your support. #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

Stop classifying conscripts as IRGC members. @LenaMetlegeDiab @nkeung @PierrePoilievre #ConscriptsAreNotMembers #JusticeForlranianConscripts

Canada’s policies are hurting innocent families of former IRGC conscripts while real threats go unchallenged. This must change. @MarcMillerVM @JustinTrudeau @aboultaifziad_ @gary_srp @reneliberal @AryaCanada #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

Canada’s current policy criminalizes victims: the IRGC conscripts. STOP this injustice! @LenaMetlegeDiab @gary_srp @mpziad @SimaAcan @ScottAAitchison @MichelleGhsoub @AliEhsassi #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

Please don't forget the Iranian community. Innocent families of former IRGC conscripts deserve fairness, not fear. Canada’s policies are hurting the wrong people. #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

Canada must focus on real threats, not innocent IRGC conscripts. This approach only harms victims and empowers oppressors! @MarcMillerVM @DavidMcGuinty @LordDsGhost @MBJDepute @KodyBloisNS @RichardBragdon #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

While 700 members of IRGC are living freely in Canada, the unfair immigration system of the Liberals is punishing the victims and protecting those 700 members. Stand with innocent families of IRGC conscripts forced into service. #JusticeForIranianConscripts @MelissaLantsman

Dear @MichaelParsa, the Iranian community needs your help. Please advocate for fairness and justice. #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

Real justice means accountability for oppressors, not punishment for their victims. Former IRGC conscripts are victims. Canada, take action. @MarcMillerVM @JustinTrudeau @jyduclos @beynate @GregFergus @DarrenFisherNS #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

False accusations against IRGC conscripts are ruining lives. Stop punishing those who have already been harassed. @MarcMillerVM @PierrePoilievre @theJagmeetSingh @StephanieKusie @DaneLloydMP #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

It was an incredibly informative episode. Thank you all for shedding light on this important issue and helping raise awareness about the injustice faced by our community. Your support is truly invaluable to us. #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

A ministerial guidance is NECESSARY to exempt conscripts from IRGC bans. Please. I beg of you. Take action #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers @IRGCConscripts @LenaMetlegeDiab @CBCNews @nkeung @prisksh @ybrend @kshahrooz @AliEhsassi @esmaeilion @MarkJCarney

Thank you for your support 🙏 Please note that PFLs and PR rejections are crushing the innocent lives of IRGC conscripts. This is not justice—it’s a political error. Kindly be our voice 🙏 #JusticeForIranianConscripts #ConscriptsAreNotMembers

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, Iranians who were forced conscripts, with no choice but to complete two years of mandatory military service. Many have proof they did not continue serving beyond that requirement, yet they are now facing severe hardships and restrictions in their Canadian immigration files. Those I’ve spoken with believe this affects 10,000–15,000 Iranians in Canada. The Trudeau Liberals promised to protect their rights, but it’s clear there are no proper mechanisms in place, or border agents lack the tools to make consistent, fair decisions. MP Garnett Genuis says the Conservatives have a solution that could easily and should be implemented. We hope @MarkJCarney would review this file. iranintl.com/en/202512166151
