TEHRAN -- The European Union on Monday announced new sanctions on 29 Iranian officials and three organizations for alleged crackdown on riots following the death of a young woman, Mahsa Amini.

The 29-member bloc imposed visa bans and asset freezes on Iranian Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi, four members of the police squad that arrested Amini, high-ranking members of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), including its provincial commanders, the commander of the Iranian Army’s Ground Forces, and state broadcaster Press TV, which it accused of airing “forced confessions of detainees,” an EU statement said.
