The Council today extended until 13 April 2020 its restrictive measures responding to serious human rights violations in Iran. These measures consist of:

  • a travel ban and an asset freeze against 82 people and one entity.

These measures were first put in place in 2011 and have been extended ever since on an annual basis.
