It was the first Toronto protest held in response to TD Bank Group’s decision to close the accounts of its Iranian customers, but, organizers agree, it likely won’t be the last. […]Niaz Salimi, one of the protest’s organizers, said many of those affected are new immigrants fleeing the Iranian regime, and that they are afraid to publicly criticize TD’s actions. […] Earlier this month, Iranian-Canadians ran into trouble again when trying to set up a charitable account to raise funds for those affected by an earthquake in northwest Iran. They were allegedly told that, because of the economic sanctions against Iran, they would not be able to open an account.
