“In coordination with the European Union, Canada is today imposing additional sanctions on 13 Belarusian officials. Canada and the EU are very concerned about the current situation in Belarus,” the document added.

Canadian Foreign Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said in a statement that “those responsible for the repression of Belarusian citizens will be increasingly subject to targeted sanctions.”

“Despite calls from the international community for an end to the violence in Belarus, his regime continues its aggression … Canada will continue to provide constant support to the Belarusian people in the fight for peace,” added the Canadian chief of diplomacy. .

The statement does not specify to whom these criminal measures will specifically apply.

In late September, Canada, along with the United Kingdom, imposed sanctions on 11 Belarusian officials, including President Lukashenko and his son Viktor.
