Canada has decided to create legislation to expand the country's international sanctions law to target gross human rights violators. This was stated by Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland in Parliament yesterday. <br/><br/><br/>Last month a Parliament committee agreed to support the amendment of Canada's sanctions rules to include rights violators and acting in honor of the Russian whistle blower Sergei Magnitsky. <br/><br/><br/>Sergei died in a Moscow prison in 2009 after accusing officials of a 230 million dollar tax fraud. Russia's Presidential council on human rights said Sergei was beaten and denied medical treatment while in jail.
