Canada sanctions Iranian police force, university as regime cracks down on protests
Canada is adding Iran’s national police force and an Iranian international university to its sanctions list as Tehran continues to crack down on weeks of dissent.
Security forces have dispersed gatherings with live ammunition and tear gas over weeks of sustained protests. Joly also accused the Iranian regime of using Al-Mustafa University, which has branches in several countries, to spread its ideology abroad and recruit foreign fighters. “The Iranian people, including women and youths, are risking their lives because they have endured for far too long a regime that has repressed and violated their humanity,” Joly said.
The mass indictments mark the government’s first major legal action aimed at quashing dissent since unrest erupted more than six weeks ago.
