Ottawa: On Dec 2, Canada has imposed new sanctions on Belarusian officials and entities siding with its international partners like US, EU and Britain. Ottawa asserted that the step was taken to protest against what it named human rights sabotage and acts of repression. On the other hand, the U.S. Treasury inflicted restrictions on dealings in new allotments of Belarusian sovereign deficit and expanded embargoes, targeting 20 individuals and 12 entities.
