SBS News In Depth

The federal government has used the 2nd anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death to announce further targeted sanctions and travel bans on five Iranian individuals. They include senior security and law enforcement officials, who the government says have been complicit in the repression of protests in Iran. 195 Iran-linked individuals and entities have already been sanctioned - almost half have links to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Twenty-two year-old Mahsa Amini's death, following her arrest by so-called morality police in Iran, sparked the nationwide Woman, Life, Freedom movement across the country, which some protesters say is still continuing.
