Petition Text
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
• The Government of Canada has designated the regime of Iran as a state supporter of terrorism and listed the IRGC as a terrorist entity;
• The people of Iran have the fundamental right to determine their political future and enjoy freedom, dignity, and self-determination;
• Credible reports indicate widespread crackdowns, including mass arrests, killings, and persecution of civilians, with reports that more than 40,000 civilians were murdered in January 2026;
• Since March 2026, authorities have imposed internet shutdowns to suppress dissent, while escalating arrests and executions linked to recent protests in January 2026;
• Iranian activists risk detention, torture, or execution if returned to Iran, including possible deportation from countries such as Turkey, Armenia; and
• The Iranian-Canadian community has demonstrated strong solidarity through large-scale civic action, including a February 14, 2026 rally in Toronto with over 450,000 participants.
We, the undersigned, residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to:
1. Take leadership at the UN to address human rights violations in Iran;
2. Advance the (R2P) and ensure Canada does not vote in favour of actions that benefit the Iranian regime;
3. Condemn and coordinate with international allies to immediately halt all executions of political prisoners in Iran;
4. Immediately prioritize and fast-track immigration and asylum applications of Iranian activists at risk of deportation from Turkey and Armenia;
5. Strengthen screening and enforcement against individuals in Canada with ties to the regime or IRGC, including review of those involved in official negotiations with international bodies like the World Trade Organization; and
6. Expand support for tools that enable secure access to a free and open internet in Iran.
