@AnitaAnandMP Canada can protect national security without treating ordinary Iranian conscripts as voluntary IRGC members. Individual circumstances, coercion, and actual conduct must matter. Security and fairness can coexist.
#ConscriptsAreNotMembers
We call for clear, written guidelines for IRCC and CBSA to ensure that mandatory Iranian conscripts are not automatically treated as voluntary IRGC members.

Today, the IRCC reportedly rejected the PFL applications of around 100 people solely because of compulsory military service in Iran’s IRGC. Compulsory service should not be treated as voluntary affiliation. This deserves fairness and due process.@gary_srp#ConscriptsAreNotMember
@Ardeshirz Thank you @Ardeshirz for standing up for innocent conscripts who had no choice. Canada is targeting innocent conscripts and their families instead of IRGC members and supporters.
#ConscriptsAreNotMembers
@HillelNeuer It's worth to add, meanwhile Canada scapegoating the conscripts to inflate the anti-terrorism stats!
Critical question to ask:
Will the EU follow the same hypocritical and shameful move?
