Javad Soleimani speaks at a memorial about his wife Elnaz Nabiyi, killed by an Iran ian missile attack on a passenger plane. Canada must do more to avoid becoming a safe haven for members of Iran ’s regime, Iran ian Canadians warned in documents unsealed by the foreign interference commission Thursday.
“Certain attendees talked about the presence of Iranian government officials who were involved in criminal activities and human rights abuses in Canada,” the commission wrote. It was “very traumatizing” for Iranian Canadians to see officials from the Islamic regime in Canada, she said, recalling an incident that saw “Iranian nuclear officials” invited to the University of British Columbia.
The Iranian regime “wants to exert influence in Canada because there is a large and well-educated Iranian diaspora,” the witness, whose name was not released, told the inquiry. Three months after the tragedy, Iran’s intelligence service contacted him and told him to remove a social media post they did not like, he said.When he refused, he said they threatened his family still in Iran.
