Canadian Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson is expected to announce special measures to support Iranian residents in Canada during a press conference Thursday in north Vancouver.

The announcement comes after anti-regime protests rocked the Islamic republic following the death of a 22-year-old woman last year while in custody of the so-called morality police. In January, Canada slapped new sanctions on the regime targeting "Iranian propaganda." The federal government said two Iranian officials and three entities are "complicit" in the "brutal repression of Iranian voices."

Canada has sanctioned more than 125 Iranian individuals and 186 Iranian entities, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the regime's security, intelligence and economic apparatus.
