    A true privilege to witness Ambassador @BobRae48 make an exceptionally impassioned and erudite intervention before ECOSOC to urge the member states to oust Iran from the UN Commission on the Status of Women. #MahsaAmini‌ #Mahsa_Aminiمهساامینی #WomenLifeFreedom #IranRevoIution

    My message in Ottawa today was clear: the international community, including Canada, must move well beyond condemnation of the regime in Tehran and adopt concrete steps to assist brave Iranians. #Iranprotests #PS75

    1. For today’s momentous decision to oust Iran from UN Commission on Status of Women many activists must be thanked, in particular @NazaninBoniadi, @NazaninNour and @GissouNia, but also a group I encountered just outside the UN while I strolled over this morning.

    A moment far too many have been waiting for: Canada, Ukraine, the UK and Sweden launch the formal legal process to hold the Islamic Republic of Iran accountable for its multiple breaches of international law with respect to flight PS752.

    Thank you to Ministers’ Mendicino and Fraser for designating the Islamic Republic of Iran as a regime that engages in terrorism and systematic and gross human rights violations. All senior officials, diplomats and members of the judiciary are now deemed inadmissible to Canada.

    Appalled that Iran’s highest judicial authority upheld death sentences for Amir Hossein Moradi, Saeed Tamjidi and Mohammad Rajabi for having participated in Iranian anti-government protests last November.

    Outrageous intervention by Russia at ECOSOC to delay on procedural grounds imminent vote by 54 member states on whether IR of Iran be outed from membership on Commission on the Status of Women. Genuine example of international axis of autocracies. #MahsaAmini‌ #WomenLifeFreedom

    The tragic death of #MahsaAmini once again reveals the Islamic Republic’s true colours: a repressive state apparatus wholly committed to extinguishing civil liberties and dedicated entirely to suffocating any semblance of freedom. theguardian.com/global-develop…

    A big tip of the hat to @esmaeilion and his team for organizing a solidarity march in Berlin attended by 100,000. Every brave protestor in Iran should know that the International community stands fully behind them.

    Please find a copy of my submission to Commissioner Hogue requesting that her Foreign Interference Inquiry include the I.R of Iran in the scope of its investigation. In my opinion the important work of the Commission would be incomplete without including Iran.

    Happy to inform everyone that today the Canadian Government announced that it will officially list the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity.

    2. While overjoyed that Iran kicked off UNCSW today, also reflected on my father who sat in this place in 1970s as Iran’s Permanent Representative to UN and Vice-Chair of ECOSOC, advocating with every other member of Iranian delegation for empowerment of women. #MahsaAmini‌
