UPDATE: 9:00 PM CET<\/span><\/p>\n The Council decided today to impose restrictive measures on\u00a0nine individuals\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0three entities<\/strong>\u00a0in view of their role in committing serious human rights violations and abuses, particularly\u00a0sexual and<\/strong>\u00a0gender-based violence<\/strong>. Today\u2019s action reaffirms the EU\u2019s determination to promote and protect human rights around the world.<\/p>\n Ahead of International Women\u00b4s Day, we move from words to action. No matter where it happens, we will combat and eliminate all forms of violence against women. With today\u00b4s decision, we are enhancing efforts to counter sexual and gender-based violence, to ensure that those responsible are fully accountable for their actions, and to combat impunity.<\/p>\n Read more<\/a><\/p>\n WASHINGTON<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 \u00a0U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee<\/strong>, issued the following statement today calling for the adoption of a resolution censuring Iran for its insufficient cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) at this week\u2019s meeting of the agency\u2019s Board of Governors:<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cAs the Iranian regime continues to push the limit and enrich nuclear material to record levels approaching the 90 percent threshold for a nuclear weapon, the international community must respond. The regime\u2019s excuses that these steps were accidental ring hollow and the international community must treat these for what they were: intentional. Likewise, Tehran\u2019s agreement this weekend to increase IAEA monitoring at nuclear facilities falls well short of addressing these provocative steps.<\/p>\n \u201cThe United States and our European allies must use this week\u2019s UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors meetings to speak with a single, unified voice that makes clear to Tehran that this boiling frog approach toward becoming a threshold nuclear state will not work. Anything short of a censure signals to the Iranian regime that it will face no punishment for the dangerous advancement of its nuclear activities.\u201d<\/p>\n Source<\/a><\/p>\n Based partially on reporting by PMOI (MEK) Network in Iran<\/p>\n Tuesday, March 7, 2023 \u2013 8 PM GMT + 1<\/p>\n Iran\u2019s nationwide uprising witnessed its 173rd\u00a0day as the regime\u2019s orchestrated chemical gas attacks targeting schools and universities across the country have led to increased anger and protests among the public. Parents and locals in cities throughout Iran are pointing fingers at regime officials and authorities for not only failing and refusing to prevent these attacks but also accusing them of turning a blind eye and facilitating this horrendous crime that is leaving hundreds of schoolkids, especially girls, suffocating and hospitalized.<\/p>\n March 7 – Karaj, west of Tehran, #Iran<\/a> — People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) March 7, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nViolence Against Women and Girls: EU Sanctions Nine Individuals and Three Entities Under Its Global Human Rights Sanctions Regime<\/h3>\n
