Canada Lists Iran-Backed Houthis as Terrorist Entity, Trudeau's Inaction Highlighted
Dec 2, 2024, 06:37 PM
Canada has officially listed Yemen's Ansarallah, commonly known as the Houthis, as a terrorist entity under its Criminal Code. This designation was announced by Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, marking a significant step in Canada's efforts to counter terrorism both domestically and internationally. The Houthis, backed by Iran, have been involved in activities that meet the definition of a 'terrorist group,' leading to this classification. The move imposes strict legal and financial penalties to address the security threats posed by the group. The listing comes nearly a year after Canadian Conservatives had urged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to take this action, highlighting the government's delay in responding to the threat.
