Madam Speaker, my second petition is on behalf of Canadians who believe the Islamic Republic of Iran is using extreme violence to terrorize political opponents, including the peaceful participants in the Women, Life, Freedom movement. The Islamic Republic of Iran has, alarmingly, increased executions.
The petitioners are calling for the Government of Canada to redouble its pressure on Iran to protect the universal right to life, call for an immediate moratorium on executions, call on the supreme leader to hold his officials fully accountable for their role in all human rights abuses, and publicly assure the people of Iran of Canada's support for their civil and political rights.
