Children and families should not pay the price for a parent’s compulsory military assignment. Families deserve stability and hope, not uncertainty caused by treating conscripts as IRGC members. Canada can protect national security while making it clear that conscription alone does not mean membership or guilt.

@Belasiifar While you spend your weekend with loved ones, please remember the families whose lives are filled with fear and uncertainty. Their health is suffering over something they never chose. Forced conscription is NOT voluntary membership. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers
Imagine rebuilding your life in Canada, only to face uncertainty because of compulsory conscription from 10 or 15 years ago. Former conscripts and their families are living with overwhelming stress. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers
We escaped uncertainty in Iran to build a future in Canada. Now our lives are on hold because of compulsory military service we never chose. How many more families must suffer before this injustice is addressed?
#JusticeForIranianConscripts
Iranian conscripts make like twenty dollars a month doing forced labor, but other countries treat them like regime officials. Punishing regular guys for being exploited makes zero sense.

How can Canada punish people for military service they were legally forced to complete? We had no choice, no freedom to refuse, and no control over our assignments. Forced conscription is NOT voluntary membership.
#ConscriptsAreNotMembers
We trusted Canada with the most precious thing we have: our families’ future.
Now ordinary evenings are filled with questions no parent wants to answer: Can we stay? Can we keep working? What will happen to our children?
Please see the people behind the files. Compulsory service should not erase the lives we have built.
