Joining huge Vancouver rally too risky, some Iranian-Canadians say$1:
They are Iranian-Canadians who still need to return to Iran from time to time, and fear the consequences of joining the movement – even at a demonstration more than 10,000 kilometres away from Tehran.
They told CTV News they are proud of everyone standing up to the regime, but say joining-in is not safe because they are worried there are spotters working on behalf of the regime, posing as protesters and documenting who was there.
It's sad that there are countries that use this level of intimidation as their means of control.
