EU sanctions Iranian judges, leading cyber group figure
BRUSSELS, July 24 (Reuters) – The European Union has imposed new restrictive measures on Iranian judges over alleged human rights violations, EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas said on Friday, adding that a leading figure of a cyber group who she said enabled the regime’s repression of information has also been sanctioned.
“As Tehran intensifies its domestic crackdown, the EU will continue to hold those responsible to account,” Kallas said in a statement on social media platform X.
Kallas did not specify who was sanctioned.
