While the West claims to champion human rights and the protection of the persecuted, its biased asylum systems tell a different story—especially when it comes to countries like Iran. Deep political hostilities have turned Western asylum systems into blind spots of justice, creating fertile ground for fraudsters to exploit and criminals to find safe havens. Canada, in particular, has become notorious for harboring some of Iran’s most infamous economic criminals, Mahmoud Reza Khavari, a former Iranian banking executive wanted by Interpol, yet comfortably living—and investing—in Canada is a prime example. Furthermore, a recent investigative report by Webamooz Cybercrime Investigation Media’s Mohammad Jorjandi exposes a fraud network operating under the cover of an immigration company, Parsi Canada, allegedly attempting to fraudulently acquire Canadian citizenship.
Instead of offering true sanctuary to those genuinely fleeing persecution, Western policies, clouded by political antagonism, have too often rewarded those able to manipulate the narrative. By simply rebranding themselves as “political dissidents,” individuals involved in serious criminal activities have gamed the system, securing asylum under false pretenses.
Exploiting a System Built on Double Standards
A recent Federal Court case in Canada has exposed a troubling network allegedly tied to Iranian nationals who appear to have fabricated asylum claims through staged events, falsified documents, and orchestrated online propaganda. This exploitation is no coincidence—it is the predictable outcome of a system that is all too eager to accept any negative portrayal of Iranian society without rigorous scrutiny.
At the center of the controversy is Mozhdeh Shekarisaz, the wife of Ahmad Ayoubi, a key figure associated with Parsi Canada. Shekarisaz has filed a judicial review application (Federal Court Case File: IMM-17694-24, and related files) challenging a decision by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). The core issue is the veracity of the claim that her husband, Ahmad Ayoubi, is a victim of political persecution—a claim now under intense scrutiny.
This is not an isolated case. It highlights a systemic failure fueled by ideological biases that Western governments refuse to acknowledge.
How Fraudsters Manufacture Persecution Narratives
Evidence from the case and independent investigations reveal an elaborate web of deception:
Strategic Public Relations:
A calculated PR campaign rebranded Ayoubi as a “successful entrepreneur” and a “victim of repression” to solidify his image as a legitimate asylum seeker.
Conflicting Criminal Records:
Cybercrime investigator Mohammad Jorjandi, using leaked Iranian judiciary data, revealed that Ahmad Ayoubi’s only conviction was for smuggling alcoholic beverages—not political dissent. Yet asylum applications framed him as a “political victim.”
Fabricated Online Threats:
Following the exposure, suspicious online threats appeared targeting Ayoubi, posted by newly created accounts—an apparent attempt to create fake evidence of danger.
Manufactured Media Campaigns:
Identical, suspicious news articles portraying Ayoubi as a persecuted activist flooded various websites, creating a fraudulent paper trail for asylum purposes.
Erasure of Public Records:
Disturbingly, Ayoubi’s criminal record in Iran allegedly disappeared from online judicial databases shortly after the fabricated media reports went public.
Canada’s Track Record of Harboring Criminals:
Canada’s asylum and immigration policies have repeatedly failed to distinguish between true victims and opportunistic criminals. The case of Mahmoud Reza Khavari is emblematic. Khavari, who fled Iran after the massive $2.6 billion bank fraud scandal, lives comfortably in Canada despite an active Interpol Red Notice for his arrest.
Rather than cooperating with Iranian authorities or respecting international norms, Canada continues to shield individuals like Khavari, who have looted the Iranian people’s wealth—simply because political tensions make cooperation inconvenient. Dirty money flows freely into Canadian real estate and investments while genuine victims of repression face higher scrutiny and suspicion.
If Western nations are serious about human rights, they must first fix their own broken systems.
Courts must critically assess evidence and reject asylum claims based on fabricated persecution narratives.
Asylum decisions must be rooted in facts, not political vendettas against specific countries. And authorities must verify applicants’ criminal records and scrutinize suspicious media campaigns.
Accountability for Harboring Criminals:
Canada and other Western countries must stop providing safe havens for fugitives like Khavari and respect their obligations under international law.
The current Western asylum framework, infected by political biases, is failing and is empowering the criminals.
Until fairness, scrutiny, and genuine humanitarian concern return to the center of asylum policies, these systems will continue to serve not justice, but opportunism.
