The European Union has imposed sanctions on 16 individuals and three entities it said were responsible for serious human rights violations in Iran, targeting those who played a key role in suppressing street protests in January 2026 that resulted in thousands of civilian casualties.
“The new listings target a variety of individuals and entities that played a key role in the suppression of street protests in January 2026, which has led to thousands of civilian casualties,” the Council of the EU said in a statement on Monday.
