<p>Mahsa Amini's death is a shocking reminder of the repression faced by women in
Iran. Since October 2022, we have sanctioned 94 individuals or entities for human
rights abuses under the Iran sanctions regime. This includes senior decision makers
responsible for enforcing Iran's mandatory hijab law, the Minister for Culture and
Islamic Guidance, the Mayor of Tehran and the Iranian Police spokesperson. Individuals
in the Iranian judiciary and Tehran metro were also sanctioned for their involvement
in imposing and enforcing the mandatory hijab law. We will continue to raise women
and girls' rights issues at all appropriate opportunities with the Iranian Government.</p>
