Editor’s Note
The global response to the nationwide uprising of the Iranian people has taken various forms.
From the global reflection of news about the suppression of protesters, to declarations of solidarity by world celebrities including
Nobel Prize winners, artists, politicians, and to the great wave of women around the world cutting their hair in freedom.
But it has never been seen in the 43-year history of Islamic rule over Iran that representatives of European Union member countries, one after another have spoken with strong protests against this Union’s indifference and demanded the implementation of strict measures to punish Iran.
Result: The European Union approved new sanctions against officials and institutions that played a role in the violent suppression of the Iranian people.
In the list of European Union sanctions, the names of eleven individuals and four institutions are seen. Along with the Moral Police, the Cyber Unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Basij Mobilized Resistance, and the Police Command of the Islamic Republic, these institutions have been placed among the sanctioned entities.
Isa Zarepour, Minister of Communications, Ahmad Mirzaei, Head of Tehran’s Moral Police, Mohammad Rostami, Head of the Moral Police Unit of Law Enforcement, Hossein Rahimi, Commander of the Capital Police, Abbas Abdi, Commander of Law Enforcement in Divandareh, Kurdistan Province, Ali Azadi, Commander of Law Enforcement of Kurdistan Province, Ali Safavi, Commander of Law Enforcement in Sanandaj, MohammadHossein Sepehr, Commander of the Central Training Base of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, Alireza Adianni, Chief of Ideological and Political Affairs of the IRGC, Mohammadbaman Shalicker, Commander of Law Enforcement in Babol, and Salman Haidari, Commander of Law Enforcement in Boukan, have also been placed on the list of new sanctions by the European Union.
Canada announced on October 8th that it has subjected ten thousand commanders and members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps to its sanctions.
What we are now witnessing is a global consensus to end the arbitrary actions of the Islamic government ruling Iran against its own people and the international community.
The cry for justice of blood that the Islamic Republic regime has shed since the beginning of its rule on the rooftop of Alavi School and until the blood of youths that is being shed today on the streets, has risen and reached the ears of the world.
Be strong of heart, dawn is near.
