On Sunday, January 4, in front of Radio-Canada in Montreal, a pro-secularism group gathered in solidarity with the Iranian people and to demand more accurate and transparent media coverage of events in Iran. Supporters of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi also joined the demonstration.
The speakers condemned what they described as complacent and ideologically biased coverage by Radio-Canada and CBC, accusing public media of distorting the reality of Iran’s current uprising.
“We are here today to remind Radio-Canada that it is a public broadcaster funded by Canadian taxpayers. It must tell the truth clearly and transparently. The Iranian people are paying the price for courage, and the media should not hide their struggle,” one participant in the demonstration said.
The gathering highlighted the ongoing popular uprising in Iran, where protests have escalated into an attempted insurrection against the Islamic dictatorship.
