US Sanctions on Iranian Judges for Human Rights Abuses and Torture
This law mandates sanctions, including asset freezes and visa bans, against judges, prosecutors, and investigators of Iran's Revolutionary Courts responsible for severe human rights violations. The goal is to hold specific foreign officials accountable for systematic torture, denial of fair trials, and arbitrary executions of political prisoners. While primarily a foreign policy measure, it solidifies the US commitment to international human rights standards.
