ICSNS Statement about Recent Protests in Iran
With deep sorrow and concern, we strongly condemn the killing of countless compatriots in Iran at the hands of the Islamic Republic's repressive forces. This horrific crime is a clear violation of human dignity and the most basic human rights, once again demonstrating the scale of systematic violence against the defenceless people of Iran.
Simultaneously, we are following with concern the widespread internet shutdowns and the intensification of restrictions on public communication in Iran. These repressive measures not only disrupt the free flow of information but also deprive families of contact with their loved ones at a time when the lives and safety of citizens are at serious risk, further deepening the humanitarian crisis.
The Iranian Cultural Society of Nova Scotia (ICSNS) explicitly condemns these actions and considers them contrary to humanitarian principles, international human rights standards, and the fundamental rights of the Iranian people.
During these difficult days, we are—on behalf of our community—in contact with and following up with officials and elected representatives in Canada to convey the Iranian community's deep concerns regarding these widespread human rights violations. We also sincerely appreciate those community members who have independently pursued this path.
We invite all friends to amplify the voice of the Iranian people by continuing these efforts while maintaining respect, composure, and reliance on credible documentation. Continued civic engagement and awareness-raising play an essential role in garnering the attention and accountability of the international community.
We hope that in the not-too-distant future, we will witness a safe, transparent, free, and non-violent environment for all people of Iran.
Respectfully,
The Iranian Cultural Society of Nova Scotia (ICSNS)
