US SANCTIONS IRANIAN OFFICIALS AND ENTITIES RESPONSIBLE FOR ONGOING CRACKDOWN ON PROTESTS AND INTERNET CENSORSHIP

On 26 October, the US Treasury advised that OFAC had designated 10 Iranian officials for the brutal ongoing crackdown on nationwide protests in Iran, as well as 2 Iranian intelligence actors and 2 Iranian entities involved in the Iranian government’s efforts to disrupt digital freedom. Today’s action comes 40 days after 22-year-old Mahsa Amini’s arrest and death in the custody of Iran’s Morality Police and the ongoing brutal crackdown on peaceful protests in Iran.
