Toronto, Canada, Feb 20 (EFE).- Canada on Tuesday imposed sanctions against Guatemala’s Attorney General Consuelo Porras, two prosecutors and a judge for “committing acts of significant corruption and gross and systematic human rights violations.”

Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly announced that the sanctions include Special Prosecutor against Impunity Rafael Curruchiche, Prosecutor Cinthia Monterroso, and Judge Jimi Bremer.

“The sanctioned individuals have worked relentlessly to undermine democracy and prevent a peaceful transition of power,” the Canadian government said in a statement.

Adding that the sanctions “will serve to deter obstructionist actions by corrupt public officials” and to “support the democratically elected” government of President Bernardo Arévalo.
