Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad offers support to Canada’s ‘Freedom Convoy’

Canadian truckers’ “Freedom Convoy” protests against COVID-19 restrictions, ongoing since late January, have caused a crisis in Canada and inspired protests in countries across the world.

As Canadian police warned protesters occupying central Ottawa on Thursday of a crisis prime minister Justin Trudeau labeled a “threat to public safety,” notable names have been voicing their opinion on the matter.

“The violent crackdown on #FreedomConvoy2022 has nothing to do with freedom of speech and human rights,” former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad tweeted.

“How coercion could be related to liberty & freedom of choice?” the Iranian wrote, signing off with the #TruckersForFreedom hashtag.
