On Monday, May 27, 2024, a press conference took place at the Canadian Parliament, organized by Judy Sgro, Chair of the International Trade Committee and former Minister of Citizenship and Immigration. The event highlighted the significance of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi\u2019s death <\/a>and the pressing need to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC<\/a>) as a terrorist organization.<\/p>\n

Speakers included Judy Sgro, Struan Stevenson (Coordinator of the Campaign for Change in Iran and former Member of the European Parliament), and Shahram Golestaneh, representing the Iranian Canadian community and supporters of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Judy Sgro emphasized the importance of Canada labeling the IRGC<\/a> as a terrorist organization, stating, \u201cLabeling them as a terrorist organization, full stop, 100%, needs to happen.\u201d She pointed out the substantial economic impact this designation would have on the IRGC<\/a>, which controls significant financial resources in Iran. \u201cThe economic reality of what\u2019s going to happen to the IRGC in Iran will be a huge hit economically,\u201d Sgro explained.<\/p>\n
