Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn said today, Monday, that the European Union will impose sanctions on dozens of Iranians, including judges, for their role in imposing death sentences on protesters.
Since mid-September 2022, protests have reportedly erupted across large areas in Iran following the murder of a Kurdish girl, Mahsa Amini.
These protests still recur from time to time in a number of regions, although they have subsided over the past two months.
Notably, this package of European sanctions is the fifth since October 2022. Previous sanctions have affected several Iranian officials, including the commander of the “vice police”, for their involvement in this crackdown.
