Canada will impose sanctions on those involved in the death of Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini, including Iran’s so-called “morality police,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says.

Trudeau announced on Sept. 26 that his government will levy new sanctions on Iran following the death of 22-year-old Amini, and the state’s violent clampdown on protesters enraged by her demise.
