EU Extends Sanctions on Iran over Human Rights Violations
(AP-New York Times) The EU has extended by another year a travel ban and asset freeze against 82 Iranians and also a ban on EU exports that might help in the repression of internal dissent, due to Iran's serious human rights violations. In 2011, the EU imposed the restrictions over the repression of peaceful demonstrators, journalists, and human rights defenders. The sanctions also target those involved in torture, inhumane treatment and stonings or hangings.
