Canada announces entry ban on IRGC leadership

 Canada has announced that it is banning the entry of senior officials of Iran's Revolutionary Guard.

According to the British news agency Reuters, Canadian officials say that more sanctions will be imposed for mistreatment of women and the downing of a passenger plane in 2020.

Since the death of a woman in police custody in Iran, there has been a large-scale protest in Iran, while it is also facing condemnation at the international level.

Canadian officials are still pressing Iran for the attack that shot down the plane over a Ukrainian airport, and 138 of the 176 killed were Canadians.

At a news conference in Ottawa on Friday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada wants to expand the scope of sanctions and create a sanctions bureau.

 The IRGC is an Iranian force that, apart from intelligence and other military purposes, also runs a large business empire in the country.

It is accused by Western countries of promoting terrorism on a global scale.

On the other hand, Iran denies these allegations.

On this occasion, Canada's Deputy Prime Minister Christina Freeland clearly stated that although the government has not yet officially listed the IRGC as a terrorist organization, it is a terrorist organization.

The group will be classified under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

This act is used by Canada to target governments that are involved in war crimes.

 After the move, 50 senior officials of the IRGC, more than 10,000 officers and members will not be able to enter Canada.

Conservative Party leader Pierre Poulivre criticized Justin Trudeau on Tuesday, saying, "It's been 1,000 days since the Revolutionary Guard shot down a passenger plane with 50 Canadians on board and Justin Trudeau still calls it terror." will not be declared round.'
