The U.S. Government has imposed sanctions on 14 individuals and two entities to hold the Iranian government accountable over its the brutal crackdown on nationwide protests.
Forty days after the tragic death of Mahsa Amini in the custody of Iran's morality police, Iranians continue to protest in the face of brutal suppression and disruption of internet access.
The 22-year-old Iranian university student died in a hospital in Tehran on September 16 under suspicious circumstances. The Guidance Patrol, the religious morality police of Iran, arrested Amini for not wearing the hijab in accordance with government standards.
