Tell the people of Iran that Canadians stand with them!

Iranians have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Canadians in the freedom movement. Now, it's our turn to show them that Canadians stand with the protesters fighting for freedom against the Islamist regime in Tehran!

For 47 years, the people of Iran have lived under a brutal theocratic regime.

Since the Islamic Republic seized power in 1979, Iranians have been systematically denied their most basic human rights. Political dissidents are
imprisoned, tortured, and executed.

The people are silenced. Internet access is routinely shut down during periods of unrest to prevent the outside world from seeing the truth.

Women in Iran are treated as second-class citizens. They are banned from singing or dancing in public, barred from many professions, and subjected to strict morality laws.

Women have been arrested, beaten, and killed for wearing their hijab incorrectly. Young girls can be detained for how they dress. Entire families are punished for speaking out.

Meanwhile, Iranian tax dollars are siphoned off to fund terrorist groups and proxy wars across the Middle East, while ordinary Iranians often struggle to afford food, fuel, and basic necessities.

Since December, Iran has been gripped by a nationwide uprising unlike anything we've seen in decades.

Protesters have taken to the streets demanding an end to the Islamic Republic. Despite an internet blackout and brutal crackdowns by security
forces, demonstrations have continued across major cities and small towns alike.

An estimated 12,000 protesters have already lost their lives in the fight for freedom. Thousands more have been arrested, disappeared, or sentenced
to execution. Yet, many in the mainstream media have remained silent.

We will not.

Iranians have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Canadians in the freedom movement. They were there in Ottawa in 2022 at Freedom Convoy and attended freedom rallies at Queen's Park, the Ontario legislature, in Toronto for years.

They do not only fight for their homeland; they fight for the values of freedom, dignity, and human rights everywhere, including here in Canada.

Now, it is Canadians' turn to stand with Iranians.

Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has emerged as Iranian people's choice to help lead the country towards a free future. He's laid out a clear plan for a democratic transition to a secular Iran.

As Iranians chant his name in the streets and call for the return of their stolen country, their voices are being ignored, and their lives are being taken for simply demanding basic human rights.

If you believe Iranians deserve to be free from a regime that kills them without hesitation, if you believe that they deserve the same basic freedoms we
enjoy, and if you stand with the Iranian community in Canada who are desperately trying to be heard, please sign the petition at CanadiansForAFreeIran.com.

Please, share this petition. The silence of the mainstream media must be overshadowed, and we must be the voice for those who fight for freedom.

Please sign the petition to show that Canadians stand with the Iranian people!

The Iranian people are fighting a tyrannical Islamic regime that arrests women, crushes dissent, and kills protestors demanding freedom. Canada’s leaders need to stop tiptoeing around the dictators in Tehran and stand with those risking their lives for democracy and human rights. Add your name — tell Canada to stand with the Iranian people and against the regime oppressing them.

Will you sign?

    I hope the Iranians and the world see how theocracies don’t work well for the masses.
