The Former Canadian-Iranian Conscripts Association (FCICA) is a group dedicated to fighting for the rights of former conscripts and their families impacted by the US government's decision to list the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. While FCICA doesn't take any position on listing IRGC, we believe former conscripts should not be subject to the same restrictions and limitations as current employees of the organization.
The unintended consequences of the US government's decision to list the IRGC have had a profound impact on the lives of former conscripts, their spouses, and their children. Many have lost their jobs, suffered from financial instability, and experienced mental health issues. FCICA believes it is its duty to inform the Canadian government about the extent of this issue and to advocate for its members with the US government to remove the bans and limitations that are impacting its members lives.
FCICA believes that all former Iranian-Canadian conscripts who were forced to serve in the IRGC deserve to have their rights protected and their voices heard. They are committed to working together to achieve their goals, support each other, and make a positive impact on the lives of their members and their families.
At the core of FCICA's mission is a commitment to justice, equality, and fairness. They believe that every individual deserves to live a life free from discrimination, oppression, and unjust treatment. FCICA is dedicated to standing up for the rights of former Iranian-Canadian conscripts and their families and advocating for change at all levels of government and society.
Through education, awareness, and action, FCICA believes it can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those impacted by the unintended consequences of the US government's decision to list the IRGC. They are committed to working tirelessly to ensure that their members and their families receive the support and resources they need to rebuild their lives and move forward with hope and dignity.
FCICA invites others to join them in their mission to protect the rights and improve the livelihoods of former Iranian-Canadian conscripts and their families. Together, we can create a more just and equitable world for all.
The impact of the US government's decision to list the IRGC as a terrorist organization has been far-reaching and devastating for many Iranian-Canadian families. FCICA is advocating for former conscripts and their families who have been impacted by these unintended consequences.
One such consequence is the loss of jobs and financial instability. Many former conscripts had jobs related to US companies, while the US is Canada's largest trade partner. FCICA argues that the ban on former conscripts entering the US is jeopardizing their livelihoods and causing families to be separated.
FCICA is calling on the Canadian government to lobby on behalf of former conscripts and our families with the US government to remove the bans and limitations that are impacting our lives. We believe former conscripts, who were forced to serve in the IRGC, should be excluded from all restrictions and limitations imposed on IRGC members.
