The IRGC and Basij militia carried out mass killings of protesters. A former UN prosecutor has called it "the worst mass-murder in the contemporary history of Iran." The UN Special Rapporteur estimates the death toll could exceed 20,000, with some internal government reports suggesting figures above 30,000. Over 30,000 have been arrested.
The regime responded with overwhelming force. President Pezeshkian called protesters "rioters" and "terrorists." The judiciary declared all would be tried for "moharebeh" (enmity against God)—a capital offense. Nationwide curfews were imposed and security forces with tanks deployed to patrol cities.
Protests began in Tehran over economic grievances—inflation, unemployment, and low wages—before spreading nationwide and turning into anti-government demonstrations. Analysts describe this as the most serious challenge to the regime since 1979.
The Iranian rial collapsed to record lows, with the US dollar reaching approximately 145,000 tomans. Inflation hit 42%. Repeated electricity and gas disruptions plagued the country. Iran also suffered major declines in global influence, including the fall of the Assad regime in Syria.
Canada has both the tools and the moral obligation to act
Family members and associates of Iranian regime officials hold assets in Canada—property, bank accounts, and investments. These assets can be frozen under existing sanctions frameworks.
The Special Economic Measures Act allows Canada to freeze assets of those involved in human rights violations. Canada has already sanctioned numerous Iranian officials and entities.
Since June 2024, the IRGC is a listed terrorist entity. Canadian banks must freeze their assets, and dealing with IRGC property is a criminal offense. This framework can be strengthened.
Since November 2022, senior Iranian regime members are inadmissible to Canada. However, enforcement requires political will and resources that your MP can advocate for.
When regime families enjoy Canadian safety while their relatives order executions, it sends a message that Canada tolerates atrocities. Your voice can change this.
Members of Parliament respond to constituent voices. Coordinated, respectful advocacy from Canadians can move policy and ensure our government takes meaningful action.
