OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada has shut its embassy in Damascus and is imposing
fresh sanctions on Syria, banning all dealings with the central bank as part
of a campaign to stop President Bashar al-Assad's crackdown against rebels,
officials said on Monday.
The United States, Britain, France and Switzerland have already shuttered
their missions amid increasing levels of violence.
"Our people are out, the embassy and consulate are closed," said a spokesman
for Foreign Minister John Baird.
The new round of Canadian sanctions, announced on Monday, also prohibit the
provision or acquisition of financial or other related services to or from
anyone in Syria or those acting on Syria's behalf.
The sanctions - the sixth round imposed by Ottawa on Damascus - also ban all
dealing with seven cabinet ministers.
"Our message remains clear: Assad must go," Baird said in a statement.
