The Senate has approved Bill S-226 aiming at applying restrictive measures against human rights violators
On April 11, 2017, the Canadian Senate approved Bill S-226, Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act (Sergei Magnitsky Law), sponsored by Senator Raynell Andreychuk.
“Through amendments to the Special Economic Measures Act and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, Bill S-226 would allow for the Canadian assets and property of foreign nationals to be seized, frozen or sequestered, if those foreign nationals are deemed responsible for, or complicit in, gross violations of internationally recognized human rights,” said Senator Andreychuk.
Bill S-226 will be forwarded to the House of Commons for consideration. It will be sponsored by Mr. James Bezan, M.P. for Selkirk – Interlake – Eastman, Manitoba, who is the author of a similar bill, C-267.
From the time CYHRV contacted and started working with the offices of Senator Andreychuk and Mr. Bezan to campaign for these two bills, about 2,000 signatures have been collected, the majority of which (1,500) were signatures on the printed version of CYHRV’s petition.
Please continue to campaign for the Sergei Magnitsky Law by disseminating the following online petition: https://petitions.parl.gc.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-760
CYHRV hopes that the Sergei Magnitsky Law will be approved to show the world that “Canada cannot be used to enable or shelter gross violators of internationally recognized human rights,” as asserted by said Senator Andreychuk.
Specifically, to the Vietnamese Canadian community, campaigning for a law which would punish those who violate human rights is a very effective and strong tool in the fight for freedom and democracy in Vietnam.
