Canada Imposes Sanctions on Venezuelan Officials
Canada has imposed new sanctions against 14 Venezuelan officials under the Special Economic Measures (Venezuela) Regulations. These sanctions target individuals involved in human rights violations and the repression of protests following Nicolás Maduro's contested election. The sanctions include freezing assets in Canada and prohibiting dealings with the listed individuals. This action aligns with measures from allies like the United States and the European Union, supporting international efforts to uphold human rights in Venezuela.
