German chancellor calls on EU to impose new sanctions on Iran

European Union's sanctions against Iran are important, German Chancellor Olaf Scholtz said.

Scholtz expressed his concern about the killing of peaceful demonstrators in Iran: "We condemn the use of force by the security officers."

Scholtz voiced support for the people of Iran.

In September, the morality police of Iran arrested 22-year-old Mahsa Amini for not following the hijab rules and Amini died in police custody. After that, mass protests erupted in the country. Official Tehran has cracked down on the demonstrations mercilessly, as well as resorting to other restrictive measures, including shutting down the internet. Local human rights activists say at least 185 people have been killed.
