“The new sanctions list includes six individuals and four legal entities … They participated or contributed to gross human rights violations, including against Iranian women, and also spread propaganda to justify the Iranian regime’s harassment and persecution of its own citizens,” read the statement.message.
The ministry emphasized that the actions of the Iranian regime showed a clear disregard for life and human rights.
“Canada is determined to continue imposing sanctions on individuals and entities responsible for serious and systematic human rights violations in Iran,” the Foreign Ministry assured.
