Petition to the House of Commons
- Since September 2022, Iranians in and outside of Iran have been protesting for democratic rights and freedoms in response to the death in police custody of Mahsa (Zhina) Amini;
- The Islamic Republic dictatorship's violent suppression of these protests has resulted in the murder of hundreds of Iranians and the imprisonment and disappearance of thousands more;
- Political opposition leaders in the Iranian diaspora have formed The Alliance for Democracy and Freedom in Iran (ADF Iran) to support the ongoing 'Woman, Life, Freedom' revolution;
- ADF Iran has drafted a charter of solidarity and alliance for freedom (the 'Mahsa Charter') outlining needed steps for the fall of the Islamic Republic regime and a democratic transition; and
- Canada is in a unique position to offer help and solidarity to the millions of people in Iran struggling for a better future for their country and society.
