Canada has imposed sanctions on seven Iranian judges, citing human rights violations in the Iranian justice system.
"As an institution closely tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Ministry of Intelligence, the Revolutionary Courts are notorious for issuing death sentences and harsh prison terms following sham trials and based on evidence gathered under torture,""Canada unequivocally opposes the use of the death penalty in all cases, everywhere. It is a form of punishment that is incompatible with human rights and human dignity.
Those sanctioned cannot conduct business in Canada or with Canadians. Their assets in Canada have been frozen and they are inadmissible to the country.
