#BREAKING Canadian Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau says Canada has designated Iran's IRGC leadership, banning over 10,000 of its members from entering Canada forever according to new restrictive measures. Image
@JustinTrudeau Canadian PM: Today, we’re using the most powerful tools at our disposal to crack down on Iran's brutal regime. We'll be pursuing a listing of IRGC leadership under our Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, making over 10,000 senior IRGC members inadmissible to Canada.
Canadian PM: We intend to massively expand targeted sanctions under Special Economic Measures Act to hold to account those people most responsible for Iran's egregious behavior. We're also expanding our capacity to fight money laundering & to crack down on foreign interference.

#BREAKING The Iranian embassy in Copenhagen has been surrounded by Denmark's security forces over a "security incident", Danish media reported Friday.

Nika Shakarami, 17, was arrested during #IranProtests after burning her headscarf. After a week security forces delivered her dead body to her family w/ her nose fully smashed & her skull broken with multiple blows.
Outrage over her murder is now adding fuel to fire of protests.
Similar to case of #MahsaAmini, the Islamic Republic denied killing & even arresting her, claiming that she’d died after falling down a nearby rooftop. However, security forces stole her body and buried her secretly.
Conservatives are now warning she may turn into another Mahsa.
Iran’s state broadcaster on Wednesday aired the forced confessions of #NikaShakarami’s uncle. The footage analyzed by social media users clearly shows the security forces are there forcing him to say what they demand and apparently insulting him.
