Absolutely horrific!
@shuvmajumdar, hope you read this post.
Issuing over 500 PFLs to former Iranian conscripts just in two days indicates anti-terrorism mottos are just a public show!
Not only are there no pragmatic actions toward that goal, but the gov victims who have been victimized by repressors.
One day. Hundreds of PFLs.
Individual assessment? Or just a mass decision?
Mandatory military service is not terrorism. Stop treating innocent people like criminals.@CitImmCanada@PierrePoilievre@MarkJCarney
@Samsi3w Mandatory service is not voluntary membership. People should not be punished for something they had no choice in. Canada must act with fairness and humanity.
Hundreds of innocent Iranian conscripts and their families are being caught in an unfair system. Mandatory military service is not a choice. Individual cases deserve individual review—not blanket assumptions. This is injustice.
@subtle_vision@PierrePoilievre Mandatory service is not voluntary membership. People should not be punished for something they had no choice in. Canada must act with fairness and humanity.
Just days after @PierrePoilievre called on the gov to take stronger action against genuine terrorist orgs and their members ( https://t.co/xCWmry2H1K ), the Canadian government issued more than 500 Procedural Fairness Letters (#PFL) to #FormerIranianConscripts and their families.
If the priority is to target genuine terrorists and their supporters, why are hundreds of innocent families, people who were compelled into conscription service years ago, now facing fear, uncertainty, and the risk of losing the lives they’ve built in Canada? Victims of coercion should not be treated as perpetrators. Canadians deserve an explanation.

@UCAN_Advocacy Mandatory conscription was not a choice. People should not be punished for service they were forced to perform. Canada must act with fairness, consistency, and humanity.
On August 6–7, hundreds of Iranian applicants and their family members received system-issued Procedural Fairness Letters (PFLs) alleging inadmissibility based on their history of mandatory conscription into the IRGC.
This is deeply alarming. Canadian officials have repeatedly acknowledged that conscripts cannot—and should not—be automatically categorized as IRGC members simply because they were compelled to serve.
Yet families are now facing immense fear, panic, uncertainty, and the possibility of having their lives in Canada turned upside down over something they had no choice or control over.
The immediate challenge is access to qualified legal support. Hundreds of families are now urgently seeking help to respond to these PFLs, while the demand for professional assistance is overwhelming.
This is not acceptable. It is inhumane to punish people for mandatory service they could not refuse. Conscripts are not the perpetrators. They should not become victims of the consequences of the very regime they were forced to serve under.
Canada must act with fairness, consistency, and humanity. These families need answers and they need them now.

Today, we gathered in front of the Honourable Gary Anandasangaree’s constituency office to call on the Government of Canada to distinguish former mandatory IRGC conscripts from voluntary members of the organization and to end the unjust immigration consequences affecting innocent individuals and their families.
Our message is simple: compulsory service imposed by the Iranian regime must not be treated as voluntary membership.
We sincerely thank @Ardeshirz for joining us, standing with affected families, and publicly acknowledging the importance and urgency of this issue. Your support and solidarity mean a great deal to our community.
More videos from today’s demonstration, along with the full statement delivered during the event, will be available soon on our website: https://t.co/IlFHHXgbdN
Together, we will continue advocating for a fair, responsible, and evidence-based approach that protects Canada’s national security while ensuring innocent victims of coercion are not punished twice.
