On Monday 26 June, the Council of the European Union adopted restrictive measures against seven people it deems “responsible for serious human rights violations in Iran”.
They are Seyyed Mohammad Mousvian, a public and revolutionary prosecutor of Isfahan, and Ali Zare Nouri, deputy judge and adviser to the provincial criminal court, responsible for “the trials against the protestors Saleh Mirhashmi, Majid Kazemi and Saeid Yaqoubi”, who were executed in May 2023.
The governor and head of the Rezvanshahr security council, Seyyed Nader Safavi Mirmahalleh, “responsible for ordering officers to open fire on demonstrators during protests” in 2022 and 2023, and the Rezvanshahr police commander Seyyed Khalil Safavi, who carried out the orders, are also subject to measures.
The governor of the city of Amol, Seyyed Abbas Hosseini, deemed “responsible for the killing of at least two young Iranian protesters” by government forces in Amol, has also been sanctioned.
Finally, the commander of IRGC forces in the Isfahan province, Mojtaba Fada, and the commander of the Imam Hussein Guards Corps in Karaj, in the province of Alborz, Rashid Kaboudvandi, are subject to measures.
With this ninth set of sanctions, the measures now apply to 223 individuals and 37 entities.
