STOP PUNISHING PEOPLE FOR FORCED SERVICE
Former Iranian conscripts and their families are gathering in Ottawa to ask for fair immigration decisions. Compulsory service is not, by itself, proof of personal ideology or voluntary allegiance. Every case deserves a careful, individual assessment.

Thousands across Canada are watching Ottawa today.
Families are asking for meetings, transparent criteria, consistent decisions and recognition that forced service is not voluntary membership.

People who escaped the Islamic Republic now face suspicion over service that same regime forced on them. Living with that label is exhausting. We gathered today and will gather again tomorrow. Reporters, please come hear directly from those affected.

💔 HOW MANY INNOCENT FAMILIES MUST SUFFER BEFORE THEIR VOICES ARE HEARD?
Today, people are peacefully gathering in Ottawa to ask for fairness, justice, and compassion.
These individuals did not choose compulsory military service. Yet they fear being treated as though they voluntarily supported an organization.
‼️ Mandatory service is NOT voluntary membership.
‼️ Families deserve to live without fear and uncertainty.
‼️ Every case deserves a fair and individual assessment.
🇨🇦 Canadian leaders and journalists, please hear their stories and help bring attention to this issue.

Our children have drawn pictures of their families with Canadian flags. They see Canada as home. They don't understand inadmissibility or fairness letters, but they understand fear. We are outside IRCC in Ottawa so that no child has to grow up with that fear. Please come and hear us.

DAY 2 — OTTAWA, CANADA.
We are gathering peacefully again TODAY outside IRCC.
Iranian families who escaped the regime are facing immigration refusals over forced conscription imposed by that same regime.
We are asking Canada to stop confusing victims with voluntary IRGC members.
Canadian journalists, please come hear our stories today.

Children should never have to stand outside a government office to ask for their families’ futures to be heard. 💔
Today marks Day 2 of our peaceful gathering outside IRCC. We are here asking for one modest thing: a meeting with officials who will listen to our concerns.
Government assurances promised case-by-case assessments. Yet families continue to face devastating inadmissibility decisions over mandatory conscription.
📣 Media: We invite you to come, witness our gathering, and share our story. Behind these decisions are real families and children whose futures are at stake. We deserve to be heard.

Mandatory conscription is imposed by law; voluntary membership is a choice. Canadian immigration rules must not erase this distinction when considering Iranian conscripts assigned to the IRGC.

We are outside IRCC in Ottawa because a clear distinction between compulsory conscription and IRGC membership is essential to fair decisions. Protecting national security should include identifying genuine threats through individual evidence. Media, please join us.

Dear @esmaeilion
You once promised to stand with Iranian conscripts. Today, families and children are still waiting for hope.
Please don't let that promise be forgotten. Behind every case is a life, a family, and a future.
#JusticeForIranianConscripts
#ConscriptsAreNotMembers
Behind every delayed immigration file is a family waiting for answers.
Former Iranian conscripts deserve decisions based on what they actually did, not simply where they were forced to serve.

Canada needs a clear legal framework that distinguishes forced conscription from voluntary IRGC involvement.
Security screening matters. So does individual fairness.

What standards are used to distinguish compulsory military service from voluntary IRGC involvement in Canadian immigration decisions?
This question deserves a clear, public answer.
