Canada is imposing extra sanctions on Iran beneath the Special Economic Measures Regulations, based on a authorities assertion Wednesday.
“This is the 11th package of sanctions imposed by Canada against the Iranian regime since October 2022, and builds on Canada’s efforts to align with recent designations announced by the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States,” it stated.
The sanctions record one entity and 9 individuals who have dedicated gross and systematic human rights violations in Iran and overseas, it stated.
“The individuals listed include members of the so-called Morality Police unit that arrested Mahsa Amini, whose death sparked widespread anti-regime protests, and a deputy commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) forces in Sistan and Baluchistan Province, where violent clampdowns against protests resulted in the death of dozens of civilians,” it stated.
Canada can be taking proactive measures in opposition to the senior management of Paravar Pars, a major Iranian drone firm that helps Russia’s unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine by offering Russian President Vladimir Putin with drones, it added.
The assertion stated any property the people might have in Canada are successfully frozen.
