Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Monday that his country will put sanctions on Iranian individuals, as well as the country’s morality police, holding it responsible for the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who died last week.

“Today, we will implement sanctions on dozens of individuals and entities, including Iran's so-called ‘morality police’. This is in addition to some of the toughest measures so far of any country towards Iran," Trudeau told reporters.

This is happening after the US on Thursday imposed sanctions on Iran’s morality police as well.

The US Treasury Department charged the morality police with violating the rights of peaceful protesters and announced sanctions against seven senior Iranian military and security officials, including the commander of the Iranian army's ground forces.

Iran witnessed riots allegedly over the death of a young woman in Iranian police custody, which Iran repeatedly denied, while providing CCTV footage as proof, at a time when the Director General of Forensic Medicine in Tehran Province confirmed Wednesday that there were no traces of beating or wounds on the head and face of the late Iranian Mahsa Amini.

The Iranian police published CCTV footage documenting the last moments of Mahsa Amini at the police station. The Tehran police said the footage proved that the 22-year-old was not subjected to any violence or physical abuse.

The story as it is

Al Mayadeen decided to investigate the topic and get to the bottom of the story. After contacting several official sources in Iran, Al Mayadeen learned that Amini was never assaulted, beaten, or abused, and the proof was CCTV footage that slammed western reports as fake and fabricated.

The incident, recorded by the CCTV, shows a female police officer approaching Amini and pointing at her hijab. Amini and the officer engaged in a verbal disagreement, after which the officer turned around and left Amini alone. 

At this point, and without any physical altercation taking place between the two - contrary to western media reports which claimed that Amini was brutally beaten - Amini fainted and it was later reported that she fell into a coma. The police officer can be seen rushing to support Amini to prevent her from falling. Amini was then transferred to the hospital for treatment. 

The video shows that there was no violence and no beating whatsoever and that not even an arrest was made. Official sources told Al Mayadeen that Amini had a brain tumor and that she has been undergoing treatment for some time prior to the incident. Medical records confirm Amini's multiple visits to the hospital for treatment.

Following the incident, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi called Amini's family, confirming that he had ordered the incident to be investigated carefully.

"Your daughter is like my own daughter, and I feel that this incident happened to one of my loved ones. Please accept my condolences," Raisi told Amini's family.

A tweet on Iran's official Twitter profile said that Raisi told the Amini family that "I have ordered the incident to be investigated carefully so that no right is violated."
