OTTAWA — Canada is sanctioning 13 more Russians from the intelligence service, police force and corrections system for their role in the poisoning, imprisonment and death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
The new sanctions come as Navalny's widow, Yulia Navalnaya, is in Ottawa for meetings with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly.Joly will tell Navalnaya that Canada holds the Kremlin"fully responsible" for her husband's death.
Canada sanctioned six Russians within two weeks of Navalny's death including the head of the"Polar Wolf" penal colony where he died, a judge and a prosecutor. Joly says the sanctions target not only those involved in Navalny's death, but also the nerve agent poisoning that nearly killed him in 2020, his illegal arrest upon returning to Russia in 2021, human rights violations while he was imprisoned, the failure to investigate the cause of his death and a delay in handing over his remains to his family.
