EU extends Iran sanctions citing human rights situation

The European Union says it has extended sanctions against 82 Iranian officials until 2017 because of the human rights situation in the nation.

The 28-nation bloc has had asset freezes and travel bans in place against Iranians since 2011 because of perceived violations of human rights.

The measures come despite a recent improvement of relations linked to a nuclear deal between Western powers and Tehran.
