The European Union has imposed new restrictive measures on Iranian judges over alleged human rights violations, the EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas says, 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 says in a statement on X.
Kallas does not specify who was sanctioned.
