Iran Blasts Canada for Using LRADs against Protestors

Deputy Chief of the Iranian Judiciary and head of the country’s Human Rights Headquarters Kazzem Qaribabadi lashed out at the Canadian police for using LRADs (long-range acoustic devices) against protestors.

“Pressing ahead with its heavy-handed clampdown on protesters, the Canadian police are now wearing LRADs (long-range acoustic devices),” Qaribabadi wrote on his twitter page on Tuesday.

“LRADs can cause significant damage to auditory nerves. Another brazen move to stifle the voices of dissent! Hush! Canadian protesters don’t scream!” he added.

Qaribabadi reminded that individuals exposed to weaponized LRADs used at the 2009 G20 Summit experienced mild traumatic brain injuries, permanent hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), eardrum perforation (holes), ear pain, dizziness, and disorientation.

LRADs can cause significant damage to auditory nerves.

Qaribanadi had also on Sunday slammed Canada for arresting and cracking down on protests held by the country’s truck drivers.

In a tweet on Sunday, Qaribabadi described the protesters as peaceful, saying their protest has been stifled in the so-called Land of the Free.

He also slammed the silence on the issue, and said, “Nobody ever dares to talk about egregious human rights violations taking place on a daily basis in Canada.”

Police officers on Saturday cleared out the central area of a sprawling demonstration in Ottawa, moving from truck to truck and arresting protesters as they continued to subdue the occupation that has disrupted the Canadian capital for weeks.

Starting about 10 a.m., police advanced on trucks that had been parked on Wellington Street, the thoroughfare in front of the Parliament building, drawing guns on some vehicles and banging on doors as they searched for any people inside. They arrested several as other demonstrators shouted “Shame on you!” from nearby. In the heart of the main encampment on Saturday, the police pushed people back with batons and irritant spray and made more arrests.

In recent weeks, the demonstrations, which began with truckers rallying against vaccine mandates, have attracted a variety of protesters airing grievances about pandemic restrictions, claims of government overreach and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s stewardship of the country.
