Canada Imposes New Sanctions Against Venezuelan Officials
2024-12-17 14:43
Canada has imposed new sanctions against Venezuelan officials in response to the ongoing political crisis in the country. The sanctions target 13 individuals, including members of the Venezuelan National Assembly and military officials.
The sanctions include a travel ban and asset freeze, and they prohibit Canadian citizens and businesses from dealing with the sanctioned individuals.
The Canadian government said that the sanctions are intended to “send a clear message that Canada will not tolerate the ongoing repression and human rights violations in Venezuela.”
The sanctions are in addition to those already imposed by Canada against Venezuela. In 2017, Canada imposed sanctions on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his Vice President, Tareck El Aissami.
In recent months, there have been calls for Canada to do more to support the Venezuelan people. In October 2024, a group of Canadian parliamentarians visited Venezuela and called for the release of political prisoners and the restoration of democracy.
The Venezuelan government has condemned the sanctions, calling them “illegal” and “unilateral.” The government said that the sanctions are intended to “destabilize the country” and “interfere in its internal affairs.”
The Venezuelan crisis is a complex one, with no easy solutions. Canada is one of many countries that is trying to support the Venezuelan people and help them achieve a peaceful and democratic future.
