Written by on October 10, 2022

  Germany’s foreign minister has called for action against those responsible for the violent crackdown on protests in Iran.

Annalena Baerbock said Germany would ensure the European Union froze assets and imposed entry bans.

She described those “who beat up women and girls on the street” as standing on “the wrong side of history”.

EU foreign ministers are expected to decide on sanctions on October 17, according to Reuters news agency.
