Canada Expands Ban on Senior Iranian Officials to Include Those Serving Since 2003

  • Canada has extended its ban on senior Iranian officials, making those who served since June 23, 2003, inadmissible to the country, following previous restrictions on officials since 2019.
  • The measure responds to Iran’s human rights violations, notably following the death of Canadian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi in 2003.
  • Current or former officials in Canada may face removal under the new rules.
