Serious Human Rights Abuses
9/30/2010

On Wednesday, President Obama signed an Executive Order that imposes sanctions on
Iranian officials determined to be responsible for or complicit in serious human rights
abuses involving Iran. In signing the Order, the President identified eight individuals for
sanctions who share responsibility for the sustained and severe violation of human
rights in Iran since the June 2009 disputed presidential election by listing them in the
Annex to the Order. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner joined Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton for the announcement at the State Department.
