Tensions rise in Toronto’s Persian diaspora as the uprisings continue in Iran

As protests persist in Iran, the Iranian diaspora is feeling immense pressure between loyalists of the current government and those who demand change. In Toronto specifically, anti-regime activists have decided to expose a certain group of individuals publicly – supporters of the regime who they claim are enjoying freedom away from their homeland without any repercussions in Canada. The International Center for Human Rights recently posted a photo of the previous police chief in Tehran and an officer of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) using a treadmill at a gym in Richmond Hill, Ontario. On October 29, 2022, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered a highly anticipated address in which he promised to uphold sanctions against the Iranian regime and its leaders.
