Canada is sanctioning 13 more Russians from the intelligence service, police force and corrections system for their role in the poisoning, imprisonment and ****** of opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

The new sanctions come as Navalny’s widow, Yulia Navalnaya, is in Ottawa for meetings with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly.

Navalnaya has pledged to continue her late husband’s anticorruption work.

Joly will tell Navalnaya that Canada holds the Kremlin “fully responsible” for her husband’s ******.

Navalny ***** Feb. 16 at a Russian penal colony where he was serving a 19-year sentence for what Canada considers trumped up charges designed to silence an opposition politician causing problems for President Vladimir ******.

Joly says the sanctions target not only those involved in Navalny’s ******, but also the nerve agent poisoning that nearly ******* him in 2020, his ******** arrest upon returning to Russia in 2021, human rights violations while he was imprisoned, the ******** to investigate the cause of his ****** and a delay in handing over his ******** to his family.

His body was given to his mother on Feb. 24, and he was ******* March 1 in Moscow. Police detained hundreds of people who tried to lay flowers in his memory.
