The election this week of Iran to a UN committee on women s rights is an insult to women who suffer daily discrimination in the Islamic republic, groups representing Iranian women outside the country said Friday.
Iran was elected Thursday to a four-year mandate along with six other countries to the New York-based UN Commission on the Status of Women, which works to promote gender equality and the empowerment of women.
But activists said that the move was unwarranted for a country that notably obliges all women to wear the Muslim headscarf in public.
EU Sanctions Elite Iran Commander, 7 Others Over 2019 Protests
BRUSSELS The European Union has imposed sanctions on eight Iranian commanders and police chiefs, including the head of the elite Revolutionary Guards, over a deadly crackdown in November 2019, the bloc said in its Official Journal on April 12.
The travel bans and asset freezes are the first EU sanctions on Iran for human rights abuses since 2013, as the bloc had shied away from angering Tehran in the hope of safeguarding a nuclear accord Tehran signed with world powers in 2015.
Their preparation was first reported by Reuters in March.
The bloc, which also hit three Iranian prisons with asset freezes, blacklisted Hossein Salami, head of the Revolutionary Guards, the most powerful and heavily armed security force in the Islamic Republic.
