Please listen to families affected by compulsory military service. Clear guidelines and individual assessments can help protect both public safety and human dignity.

Iranian women and children are being harmed here in Canada because of Iran’s compulsory military service law. This time, the injustice against Iranian women is not happening in Iran, but in Canada.
#ConscriptsAreNotMembers
Canada can target real IRGC threats without treating every former conscript like a member. Forced service is not the same thing. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers
Dear MPs
After all the misleading assurances from IRCC, we deserve an honest answer before it’s too late. We cannot stay in Canada waiting to be deported to the very regime that slaughters its opponents. We deserve the truth!
@liberal_party@MarkJCarney#ConscriptsAreNotMembers
We spent years building a life in Canada
We pushed liberals to enlist IRGC as terrorists
Now,we,the former conscripts, the victims, are being treated as IRGC members!
We hated every second of that conscription
We did nothing wrong
We fled from terrorists!
#ConscriptsAreNotMembers
Children and spouses are paying the price for a legal distinction Canada urgently needs to recognize. Innocent conscripts are not IRGC members. Fix the law before more families are torn apart.
#ConscriptsAreNotMembers
We work, pay taxes, respect Canadian laws, and contribute to our communities. Yet our futures remain uncertain because of compulsory military service in Iran. We deserve to be assessed based on our actions, not circumstances beyond our control.
#ConscriptsAreNotMembers
What have the spouses and children of former conscripts done wrong? Families should not have to live in fear because of compulsory conscription their loved one had no choice in. These are real people, not labels on a file. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers
We ask the Canadian government for clear, transparent guidelines on how past compulsory service under the IRGC affects immigration applications. Conscripts are not automatically IRGC members or perpetrators. Canada can protect national security, hold wrongdoers accountable, and treat innocent applicants and their families fairly.

A person should be judged by their actions, not simply by an assignment they could not refuse. Iranian former conscripts deserve individual and fair assessment.

A child born in Canada knows only one home. Their future should not be overshadowed by military service their parent never chose.
Protect childhood. Protect family unity.
#ConscriptsAreNotMembers
Forced conscription into the IRGC does not make someone a member. Most of these guys had zero say in where they were sent and later left the country for a better life. Canada should look at what they actually did. #ConscriptsAreNotMembers
Many Iranians came to Canada seeking freedom from the very regime that once controlled their lives. Punishing them for circumstances they could not escape goes against the fairness and justice Canada stands for.
#ConscriptsAreNotMembers
Some nights, the hardest part is not knowing what comes next. Families want to work, raise their children and feel safe again. Years of uncertainty take a real toll.
