Families of Ukrainian plane crash victims demand expulsion of "Islamic Republic agents" from Canada

"I need justice and I want to know the truth. I won't stop until I get it," he added.

Ms. Garginpour was one of the protesters who gathered in front of the Supreme Court before gathering in front of the Canadian Parliament.

At Tuesday's rally of Iranian-Canadians, Canadian politicians were also present, including Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and Conservative Leader Pierre Poulier, who called for more action by the Canadian government against the Islamic Republic.

Ms. Freeland said, without providing details, that the Ottawa government would take further steps to punish Iran.

He added: "We will use all our tools to isolate and punish the savage dictatorship in Iran."

During the speech by the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, those present at the rally repeatedly called for the expulsion of "Islamic Republic agents" and their families from Canada.

Mr. Poilier also received applause from the audience when he spoke and said that Justin Trudeau's government had refused to designate the IRGC as a terrorist group.

The Canadian Conservative leader last month joined the association of families of Ukrainian plane victims in calling on the International Criminal Court to open an investigation into these "war crimes."

"It's been a thousand days of good words, now we need action," he said at a rally on Tuesday.

A day before the rally, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke with the families of the victims of Flight PS752 on Monday and tweeted that the Canadian government will continue its efforts in this regard until these families receive the justice, accountability, and response they deserve from the Iranian regime.

After Tuesday's rally, Mr. Esmailiou told a group of Iranians that the Association of Families of Ukrainian Plane Victims would continue its civil and human rights efforts to hold the Islamic Republic accountable.

However, he rejected any calls for political activity, especially in the context of leading the current protests in Iran, saying that until he himself is present in Iran, he cannot issue a call to Iranians inside the country, because "the response from the regime will be nothing but bullets and I cannot accept [moral] responsibility for it."

Last week, Mr. Esmailiou was one of the main coordinators of the large and numerous rallies of Iranians abroad that took place on Saturday and Sunday in more than one hundred and fifty cities around the world.
