The Issue

Addressed to:

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Global Affairs Canada, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran, other relevant UN Special Procedures, and reputable international civil-society and human-rights organizations.

We, the undersigned, call for an urgent and comprehensive examination of the roles of Mehdi Khademi, Reza Tabar, Darabi and Ghasemi in the formation and direction of coordinated proceedings against the Shekarisaz family, and of the role of Mohammad Jorjandi and Webamooz in the cross-border dissemination of the same allegations and information.

Judicial records, published reports and the chronology of events reveal a consistent pattern: complaints, allegations and judicial or administrative measures were first advanced in Iran against the Shekarisaz family and related businesses. The same narratives, information and allegations were subsequently circulated and amplified outside Iran through Mohammad Jorjandi, Webamooz and a number of online accounts and campaigns.

PUBLISHED SOURCES AND DOCUMENTS

Materials, images, reports and documents published through the following channel provide information concerning the formation, expansion and direction of a number of economic and judicial cases:

These materials, together with judicial records, reporting published inside and outside Iran, publications by Mohammad Jorjandi and Webamooz, and decisions of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, form part of the documentary record that will be provided to the appropriate authorities.

PRIOR PROCEEDINGS AND FINAL NON-PROSECUTION ORDERS

A substantial portion of the matters and allegations used in these actions had already been considered by judicial authorities in Iran. Those proceedings concluded with final non-prosecution orders and acquired the force of res judicata.

Despite those final outcomes, substantially the same matters were raised again through altered legal characterizations, additional complainants or the repackaging of materials into new case files. This pattern reflects renewed case-building after the earlier proceedings had been conclusively closed.

THE ROLE OF MEHDI KHADEMI

According to the published documents and reports, Mehdi Khademi participated in the formation and direction of cases in which methods included creating or assembling multiple complainants, artificially increasing the number of complaints, pressuring business owners, restricting company operations, using intermediaries, and threatening the creation or expansion of further proceedings.

Published accounts also describe the routing of economic cases through particular channels and branches and the use of judicial and administrative mechanisms to intensify pressure on targeted individuals and businesses.

THE ROLES OF REZA TABAR AND DARABI

Reza Tabar and Darabi also participated in the administrative and judicial handling of these matters and in directing them through particular channels, branches and procedural stages.

Their actions, the referral and pursuit of the cases, their connections with Mehdi Khademi, and their communications with intermediaries and other relevant individuals should be examined as parts of a connected course of conduct.

THE ROLE OF GHASEMI

Ghasemi was connected with the individuals named above and assisted in directing, advancing and coordinating actions relating to the cases.

His role included working with the individuals involved, facilitating the progress of the cases and helping maintain the course used to exert pressure on the targeted individuals and businesses.

Records of communications, meetings, correspondence, administrative directions, case referrals and Ghasemi’s connections with Khademi, Tabar, Darabi and relevant intermediaries can clarify the extent of this cooperation.

REPORTS PUBLISHED INSIDE AND OUTSIDE IRAN

In recent months, numerous reports have appeared in media outlets, news channels and social-media accounts inside and outside Iran concerning the conduct of Mehdi Khademi and individuals associated with him.

These publications have addressed the formation and direction of economic cases, pressure on business owners, the creation of multiple complainants, the use of intermediaries, financial demands, and the use of judicial and administrative processes to compel individuals to accept particular demands.

Reports have also circulated concerning the arrest, summons or internal protective and disciplinary review of Mehdi Khademi’s conduct. The similarities between those reports and the documents and experiences of individuals previously targeted through these proceedings demonstrate that the matter is not confined to a single personal dispute or isolated case.

THE ROLE OF MOHAMMAD JORJANDI AND WEBAMOOZ

After the proceedings and accusatory narratives emerged in Iran, Mohammad Jorjandi and Webamooz published a series of Persian- and English-language materials concerning the Shekarisaz family.

Those publications presented allegations including fraud, forgery, deception of Canadian authorities, organized activity, and misuse of the Canadian judicial and immigration systems.

They circulated the original accusations publicly without presenting the complete contrary record, the responses of the targeted individuals, or the outcomes of the relevant judicial proceedings.

The similarity between the titles and details published by Mohammad Jorjandi and those used in the Iranian proceedings, the timing of the publications, and the use of case-related information demonstrate an organized path through which accusatory narratives were transferred from Iran and reproduced in the international media environment.

The origin of Jorjandi’s information, his means of obtaining case documents and information, the timing of his receipt of the materials, and his communications with individuals connected to the Iranian proceedings should therefore be examined together with the roles of Khademi, Tabar, Darabi and Ghasemi.

EXPANSION OF THE ONLINE CAMPAIGN

The dissemination was not limited to Webamooz. Similar narratives were repeated through social-media accounts, Persian-language outlets and channels inside and outside Iran, and another online petition.

In the course of this campaign, private correspondence, residential-address information, identification numbers and other personal information were published without the consent of the affected individuals.

The similarity of the content, repetition of the same language and allegations, and coordinated distribution across multiple platforms demonstrate the connection between the proceedings initiated in Iran and the media campaign conducted outside the country.

OUTCOMES OF THE CANADIAN PROCEEDINGS

Matters raised against the Shekarisaz family were also addressed by the Supreme Court of British Columbia:

Safaei v. Shekarisaz, 2026 BCSC 484
Safaei v. Shekarisaz, 2026 BCSC 918

In those decisions, important evidence and arguments advanced against the defendants were not accepted, an application to freeze assets was dismissed, the proceeding was stayed against the defendants, and costs were awarded in their favour.

Those outcomes differ substantially from the picture presented through the media campaign. Nevertheless, online publications continue to repeat the original accusations while disregarding the actual outcome of the court proceedings.

For legal reasons, the complete defence record and supporting evidence will not be published in this public petition. The full documentary record will be provided directly to the appropriate judicial, governmental and human-rights authorities.

MATTERS REQUIRING EXAMINATION

We call upon the responsible authorities to examine:

1. The role of Mehdi Khademi in forming, directing and expanding the proceedings;
2. The roles of Reza Tabar and Darabi in referring, administratively directing and pursuing those proceedings;
3. Ghasemi’s connection with the named individuals and his assistance in coordinating, directing and advancing the proceedings;
4. The renewed use of matters that had previously concluded through final non-prosecution orders and acquired the force of res judicata;
5. The alteration of legal characterizations, addition of complainants or repackaging of materials to create new proceedings;
6. Reports concerning the arrest, summons or protective and disciplinary review of Mehdi Khademi;
7. The origin of the information and documents supplied to Mohammad Jorjandi and Webamooz;
8. The means through which Mohammad Jorjandi obtained judicial, commercial and personal information concerning the targeted individuals;
9. Communications between Mohammad Jorjandi and individuals connected with the Iranian proceedings;
10. The route by which case documents and information were transferred from Iran to individuals and media outlets abroad;
11. Financial, organizational or informational relationships among the individuals involved;
12. The timeline of the proceedings compared with the publication dates of materials circulated by Mohammad Jorjandi, Webamooz and related accounts;
13. The role of accounts, channels and media outlets that repeated and amplified identical material inside and outside Iran; and
14. The use of incomplete information, selective translations or one-sided narratives to influence Canadian judicial and immigration authorities and public opinion.

REQUESTS TO CANADIAN AUTHORITIES

We call upon the responsible Canadian authorities to:

1. Preserve and examine, in accordance with law, the relevant communications and digital, administrative and financial records;
2. Compare the chronology of the Iranian proceedings with publications by Mohammad Jorjandi, Webamooz and related online campaigns;
3. Identify the source of non-public information and personal documents transferred outside Iran;
4. Examine communications among Khademi, Tabar, Darabi, Ghasemi, Mohammad Jorjandi and other relevant individuals;
5. Determine how Canadian platforms and institutions were used in connection with this campaign;
6. Take appropriate legal action against all responsible individuals where violations are established; and
7. Communicate the outcome, to the extent permitted by law, to the affected individuals and the public.

REQUEST FOR INTERNATIONAL FOLLOW-UP

Because these actions are cross-border in nature, we call for the entire matter to be documented and pursued through the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran, other relevant UN Special Procedures, and reputable international civil-society and human-rights organizations.

The judicial records, published reports, evidence relating to the direction of the proceedings, and the chronology of the transfer and dissemination of information should be provided to these bodies so that the roles of the individuals involved are formally documented and followed at the international level.

We call upon these bodies to:

1. Register and document the matter and its supporting evidence;
2. Address the use of judicial and administrative processes to pressure individuals and businesses in their reporting;
3. Follow the connection between actions inside Iran and the media campaign outside the country;
4. Raise the matter with the responsible authorities in Iran, Canada and other relevant countries;
5. Use applicable United Nations human-rights mechanisms to demand accountability and transparency; and
6. Communicate the results of their follow-up to the extent permitted by their rules.

The following materials can be provided:

- Iranian judicial records and decisions;
- Final non-prosecution orders and records establishing the closure of earlier proceedings;
- Certified translations;
- Decisions of the Supreme Court of British Columbia;
- Archived copies of publications by Mohammad Jorjandi and Webamooz;

CONCLUSION

This petition is not about a personal disagreement or a reaction to media criticism. It concerns the coordinated use of judicial proceedings and information obtained through them to create a cross-border campaign against identifiable individuals and businesses.

This matter should not be confined to one country or institution. Its coordinated and cross-border nature requires simultaneous documentation and follow-up at both national and international levels.

We ask you to sign this petition so that the roles of Mehdi Khademi, Reza Tabar, Darabi, Ghasemi, Mohammad Jorjandi and other involved individuals, the route by which information was transferred, and the connection between the actions in Iran and the media campaign abroad can be fully established.
