(Global News) Canada must do more to avoid becoming a safe haven for members of Iran’s regime, Iranian Canadians warned in documents unsealed by the foreign interference commission Thursday.
Documents released by the Hogue Commission summarize public consultations held last year with the Iranian diaspora concerning foreign interference and what to do about it.
In particular, Iranian Canadians called for better screening to weed out regime officials who served in the government of the Islamic Republic before arriving in this country.
“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.
