Ayatollah Khamenei family members condemn Iran’s regime | DW News

Iran has condemned the European Union for imposing new sanctions over its response to anti-government protests. The EU announced measures targeting Iran’s state broadcaster, army chief, Revolutionary Guards commanders and a cleric. Protests have swept Iran since the September 16th death of a young Iranian Kurdish woman in police custody. Courts in Iran have sentenced 11 people to death in connection with the protests, with the first two people executed in the past week. More than 18,000 Iranians have been arrested, including close members of the family of Ayatollah Khamenei: His niece is one of the sharpest critics of the Supreme Leader.
