Victims of forced conscription should not be treated the same as those who chose to join a terrorist organization.
Today I joined members of the Iranian-Canadian community on Parliament Hill to demand that the government stop targeting conscripts and deport real IRGC terrorists.
Many of these conscripts have been among the most vocal opponents of the IRGC.
Conservatives have already shown the government a simple legislative fix to this problem. Thus far, Liberals have failed to adopt that fix.
@PierrePoilievre@sh12942122@MelissaLantsman@PahlaviReza Thank you for supporting Iranian and mentioning the innocent conscripts in your speech, The regime stole two years of their youth through a forced draft. Now Canada is freezing their lives in immigration limbo for it. Punishing young men twice for a mandatory draft makes.
@PierrePoilievre@MelissaLantsman@PahlaviReza Thank you so much @PierrePoilievre for supporting Iranian people. It was a great point you mentioned about Iranian innocent conscripts who were labelled by the government as a member of IRGC! There are many innocent Iranian facing challenges! Thank you for being their voice!
@AliEhsassi You said you cannot post about Iranian former conscript to support them, but the least you can do to attend the gathering.

In Iran, skipping the draft means you can't get a job, buy a house, or even get a SIM card in your name. It's complete social exile. Expecting 18 year olds to destroy their lives to avoid service makes zero sense.

@UCAN_Advocacy Thank you @PierrePoilievre for bringing up this unfair approach to the attention. We really appreciate it. It is truly disappointing to target innocent conscripts who were assigned to do their conscription there and it is tearing families apart! @MarkJCarney
@Rob_Oliphant@BobRumball a 2021 interview, you said the government delayed listing the IRGC as a terrorist entity to protect innocent conscripts. Is this how you’re taking care of them?
