Time for the political will to end discrimination against Iranian Canadian community
Dear Prime Minister Trudeau:
As you are aware the Canadian Iranian Community supported
your candidacy for prime minister as well as Maijid Jowhari’s and Ali Ehsassi’s
positions in Parliament. It has been
six months since you assumed your role as Prime Minister, and the Canadian
Iranian Community now demands that you adhere to the promises you made during
your election campaign.
Specifically, during your campaign you promised to normalize
the relationship with Iran.. As you are
aware the closure of the consulates has created a great burden for Canadian
Iranians who reside in Canada, as well as Iranians who would like to visit
their relatives or immigrate to Canada.
These policies are discriminatory in nature as they single
out Iran when failing to apply to Saudia Arabia and other Middle Eastern Countries
which have a notorious track record for violating human rights.
At this time the Canadian Iranian Community sees no
difference between the prior conservative government and the liberal government
as there has been no shift in your policies towards the Iranian Community, in
spite of it providing you with full and sincere support
during your election campaign. We hope
that we are wrong, and that you honor your promises by addressing the concerns
of the Canadian Iranian Community immediately.
Not only do these concerns impact Canadian Iranians, but your policies
go against the liberal values of Canada as a whole.
Yours truly,
Canadian Iranian Coalition for Peace
