Canada’s foreign minister announced additional sanctions on seven individuals under the Special Economic Measures (Iran) Regulations, with Global Affairs Canada citing concerns about transnational repression, intimidation and violence targeting dissidents and human-rights defenders.

The accompanying government backgrounder says the measures include a dealings prohibition that freezes assets in Canada, bans making property available to listed persons, and renders listed individuals inadmissible to Canada under immigration law.
