[UnheardConscripts @UCAN_Advocacy]

Yesterday, we stood on Parliament Hill not only for former Iranian conscripts, but for the children and families whose futures are now hanging in the balance.

These children did not choose where their parents were born. They did not choose a compulsory service system. And they should not have to pay the price for something their parents had neither chosen nor any control over.

Families across Canada are facing separation, uncertainty, and the possibility of losing the lives they have built here because of compulsory service their loved ones were required to complete.

Canada can stand firmly against the IRGC while also recognizing the fundamental difference between voluntary membership and mandatory conscription.

We came to Ottawa to be heard. Now we expect action.

A special thank you to the human rights advocates, Members of Parliament, legal experts, journalists, and community members who stood with us and helped send a clear message:

Former conscripts must not become scapegoats for the actions of the regime in Iran. They are not responsible for decisions they did not make. They deserve protection and fairness, not punishment.

Conscription ≠ IRGC membership.

Thank you @PierrePoilievre .
Innocent families have fallen victim to a political issue. A conscript soldier is not a member of the IRGC. Politicians need to distinguish between the two.

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.

[UnheardConscripts @UCAN_Advocacy]

@13virginiawoolf لطفا برای حمایت از خانواده‌هایی که فقط به دلیل سربازی اجباری با مشکل مواجه شدن در اوتاوا به ما بپیوندید. از حمایت شما سپاسگذاریم. به امید روزی که هیچ کس برای شرایطی که خارج از کنترل شخص بوده مجازات نشود.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre joins Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi at the Cyrus assembly in Toronto, delivering an outstanding speech that deeply reflects the profound love and absolute respect for a great civilization fighting to be free.

[UnheardConscripts @UCAN_Advocacy]

This report by @StewGlobal and @JeffSempleGN sheds light on an important issue.

For years, IRGC conscripts in Canada have been scapegoated for the activities of this terrorist organization. From the beginning, we have said that conscripts were forced into mandatory service and had no real affiliation with the regime or its terrorist arm.

In fact, these men were conscripted precisely because they lacked the power and connections needed to avoid service. Instead of listening, the government accused them of voluntarily joining, labeled them security risks, and made them inadmissible.

This report shows that the children of senior regime members are living comfortably in Western countries, with no history of conscription at all. This stands in stark contrast to the pattern we see in Canada, where simply disclosing a history of conscription can trigger years-long security checks and ultimately inadmissibility rulings.

It is evident that blanket policies and targeting victims no longer work. If the goal is to protect Canadians and hold the Iranian regime accountable, the focus must be on actual regime members, officials, and operatives—not the victims of forced conscription.

Hundreds of Iranian conscripts are now facing inadmissibility to Canada because of compulsory service they never chose.

Among those affected are highly educated professionals, researchers, and academics who have built their lives in Canada and are contributing to the country’s advancement across many fields.

They did not join the IRGC. They were compelled to serve by a regime many had spent years trying to escape. Now, people who have spent years contributing to Canada are being put at risk because of circumstances they had no control over.

A conscript is not an IRGC member. A forced assignment is not a chosen affiliation. Canada must distinguish between genuine threats and ordinary people who were themselves victims of the regime.

This CBC investigation puts a human face on a deeply concerning issue that Canada cannot afford to ignore. Please read and share.

Keep Canada safe by targeting real IRGC threats—not innocent forced conscripts.
The U.K. and Australia distinguish innocent forced conscripts from IRGC members. Canada should examine that distinction too.
Another major @CBCNews report raises the question.

@UCAN_Advocacy We came to Canada seeking safety—now our families face devastating uncertainty because of service our husbands were forced to complete. Conscription is not membership.

Canada has every right to protect its security by designating the IRGC. But while some former regime insiders face little scrutiny, conscripts—who were forced into mandatory service, not members, and have no real connection—are being treated as if they’re guilty.

[Anti-Mollahs @Jahangiri2009]

@MattTheRat_ @l3v1at4an حالا اون بدبختی که بیست سال پیش رفته سربازی سپاه، درس خونده، متخصصه، از آخوند فرار کرده اومده اینجا کار خوب داره، مالیات میده، شهروند تابع قانونه باید اخراج بشه. بعد این زالوها تو کانادا، پرچم خرچنگ و سپاه و حزب الله بدست آزادانه جواون بدن. از برکات لیبرالها

[Therese @theresemacdona6]

Anyone know of Iranians in Canadian receiving letters asking them to prove they didn’t serve in the revolutionary guard? Iranians have or had conscription. How do you prove you are no longer a part of it? And given 30 days? #Iran

[Mito Komon @MitiComaan]

It's unfair to Canadians when their tax dollars go toward 'protection' that misses the actual threat. The CA government should target genuine IRGC members — not conscripts who were themselves victims of the IRGC and hate it just as much as everyone else.

If you say no to the draft in Iran, you get thrown in prison. Expecting a teenager to go to jail just so they can pass Canadian immigration checks years later makes zero sense.

[Freedom @FreedomA722]

@UCAN_Advocacy IRGC operatives must be removed from Canada. Meanwhile, forced conscripts who had no choice are being wrongly targeted.
