The European Union has imposed sanctions on five Iranian judges and Nima Salehi, founder of the Ashiyane cyber group, due to alleged human rights violations and efforts to suppress information. The sanctions, announced Friday by the EU Council, target individuals accused of contributing to the regime’s repressive activities. Salehi’s Ashiyane group is accused of close collaboration with Iran’s Cyber Police (FATA) and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The EU’s move aims to hold those responsible for abuses accountable and signals continued concern over human rights in Iran. The statement did not detail the specific actions of the sanctioned judges. This action reflects the EU's commitment to upholding human rights and countering digital repression. These sanctions are part of a broader effort to pressure Iran regarding its internal policies.
