12:30 ET / 9:30 PT: Human rights advocates call for “immediate action” against Iran’s IRGC

February 2, 2026 at 9:16 am  Federal, Politics, Video



Representatives from the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights (RWCHR), alongside parliamentarians and Iranian civil society leaders, call on the Canadian government to lead “coordinated international action and strengthened enforcement measures” against Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The news conference comes after the European Union designated the IRGC as a terrorist organization over its response to recent protests.

Speaking with reporters in Ottawa are the RWCHR’s Kimberly Lenz and Brandon Silver, as well as Iranian Canadian human rights activist Nazanin Afshin-Jam MacKay.
