Canada sanctions the Iranian regime for activities that gravely threaten international peace and security
The federal government placed sanctions on seven Iranians Tuesday in its 13th package of sanctions on the Iranian regime in under a year.
Those sanctioned are involved in activities "that gravely threaten international peace and security or that constitute gross and systemic violations of human rights in Iran," Global Affairs Canada said in a news release.
The sanctioned Iranians are:
1.)Ali Akbar Ahmadian, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council.
2.)Abdolkarim Bani Tarafi, Iranian Army brigadier general and chairman of the Iran Aviation Industry Organization.
3.)Fatemeh Haghshenas, chief executive officer and member of the board of directors of Imen Sanat Zaman Fara.
4.)Masoumeh Teymouri, chief of the board of directors of Imen Sanat Zaman Fara.
5.)Reza Khaki, a primary member of the board of directors of Qods Aviation Industries.
6.)Majid Reza Niyazi-Angili, a primary member of the board of directors of Qods Aviation Industries.
7.)Vali Arlanizadeh, member of the board of directors of Qods Aviation Industries.
These measures will impose a dealings prohibition on the listed individuals, which will effectively freeze any assets they may hold in Canada and render them inadmissible to Canada under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
Canada is committed to protecting global peace and security and will continue to stand with the Iranian people as they courageously defend their human rights.
