@GarnettGenuis has put a legislative path forward, and @AliEhsassi, your voice could help carry it. A law recognizing that forced conscription is not IRGC membership would replace fear with fairness — for good. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers
Canada's security is best served by focus, not dragnet. @gary_srp: clear guidelines would aim resources at genuine IRGC operatives — while sparing the families who were never a threat. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers
The Immigration Committee has a chance to fix something real here. @SalmaZahid@JulieDzerowicz@SameerZuberi: bringing the IRGC conscription file to the table — and calling for clear IRCC/CBSA guidelines that separate forced conscription from voluntary involvement — would change lives. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers
The House Immigration Committee must address the impact of the IRGC issue on Iranian conscript families. @JulieDzerowicz@SameerZuberi@SalmaZahid: please push for clear IRCC/CBSA guidelines distinguishing compulsory conscription from voluntary IRGC involvement. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers
Minister @LenaMetlegeDiab, Iranian families need clarity—not years of fear and uncertainty. Will your department issue clear guidance to IRCC and CBSA so compulsory conscription alone does not unfairly penalize applicants? #ConscriptsAreNotMembers
Canada can protect national security while treating forced conscripts fairly. @GarnettGenuis@AliEhsassi: please help advance a legislative solution that distinguishes compulsory conscription from genuine IRGC involvement. Families need action and a fair process. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers
@PierrePoilievre@MichelleRempel: will you help press the government for a fair solution for Iranian conscript families? Canada must pursue genuine IRGC threats without automatically treating compulsory conscription as voluntary involvement. Clear guidelines are urgently needed. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers
Please hear our voices. Many of us have already paid a heavy price for standing against dictatorship in Iran. We came to Canada seeking freedom, safety, and justice; not to be punished again for the conscription we never chose.
We are victims of forced conscription, not IRGC operatives. Judge us by our actions, not by circumstances beyond our control.
