Iran (IMNA) - According to a media release by the Australian Foreign Ministry, these sanctions consist of financial penalties and travel restrictions imposed on four individuals and three entities. The ministry claims that these measures are a response to "human rights violations" in Iran.
Among the sanctioned individuals is General Saeed Montazer-al-Mahdi, the spokesperson for Iran's police. The entities targeted include Iran's Cyber Police and Press TV, a news channel based in Tehran.
The ministry accused the Islamic Republic of oppressing its citizens and imposed sanctions for the first time. These sanctions were imposed on the anniversary of the death of Mahsa Amini, an Iranian woman of Kurdish descent who passed away while in police custody in Tehran. After being detained on September 15, she died in a hospital in Tehran a few days later.
Although there were explanations provided regarding the details of her death, it sparked protests in the country. These protests escalated into violence and resulted in attacks on security officers, vandalism of public property, as well as damage to police vehicles and ambulances.
