Canada extends sanctions against Syria

None

Canada has broadened economic sanctions imposed against Syria over its continuing violent crackdown on pro-democracy protesters, Canada's foreign affairs minister said Saturday.

 

Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said Canada is strengthening the measures imposed in May by barring additional members of President Bashar Assad's government from traveling to Canada and freezing assets of more entities linked to the regime. (AP)
