Iran two years after Mahsa Amini's death

Published
The federal government has used the second anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death to announce further targeted sanctions and travel bans on five Iranian individuals. They include senior security and law enforcement officials, who the government says have been complicit in the repression of protests in Iran. 195 Iran-linked individuals and entities have already been sanctioned - almost half have links to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. 22-year-old Mahsa Amini was from Iran's Kurdish minority. She was arrested by so-called morality police in Iran for allegedly wearing her hijab improperly. Her death sparked the nationwide 'Woman, Life, Freedom' movement across Iran, which some protesters say is still continuing.
