Petition Text
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
• Canada has listed the IRGC as a terrorist entity and designated Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism;
• Iranian security forces, including IRGC, have been implicated in killing tens of thousands of protesters and civilians in Iran;
• Evidence indicating that certain Iranian engineering and telecommunications companies have reportedly entered into contracts with the IRGC and other Iranian state and security institutions;
• Iranian authorities have reportedly used surveillance technologies, telecommunications infrastructure, and monitoring systems to identify, track, arrest, and repress protesters, with detainees facing torture, unfair trials, and execution;
• Concerns have been raised regarding the potential role of those Iranian engineering and telecommunications companies in supplying surveillance towers, telecommunications infrastructure, and monitoring equipment that may have assisted the IRGC in identifying protesters and facilitating their arrests and subsequent persecution; and
• Any IRGC cooperation facilitating human rights violations warrants investigation and accountability.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to:1. Impose sanctions on Iranian engineering and telecommunications companies with substantiated involvement in supporting the IRGC or facilitating serious human rights violations, where the applicable legal criteria are met;
2. Investigate and impose sanctions on the current and former principal owners, CEOs, board members, and senior executives of these Iranian engineering and telecommunications companies who meet the applicable legal criteria for individual sanctions;
3. Investigate their Canadian immigration status;
4. Refer credible evidence to the appropriate authorities to assess inadmissibility and pursue removal proceedings where legally justified; 5. Take appropriate measures to prevent their entry into Canada where legally warranted; and 6. investigate their assets and financial activities in Canada.
