(Western Standard) A month ago, Raheel Raza, a high-profile Muslim Pakistani Canadian journalist, beloved human rights activist, and fearless critic of Islamist extremism, learned that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is targeting her.
Despite media exposing her plight, no Canadian official reached out to discuss the Iranian Armed Forces’ IRGC terror squad distributing her photo and profile to proxies on its internal network and X. This is only one IRGC method that potentially endangers critics it wants to silence.
Iran employs intimidation tactics to smear and discredit journalists and human rights activists “on a very large scale,” said Raza.
“The IRGC is dangerous. They’re here in Canada. I believe Iranian dissidents have also been targeted. This is an issue that’s larger than me. If only people would understand this isn’t about Raheel Raza. It’s about Canada and the safety of Canadian citizens.”
