Iran added the Farsi service of DW to a list of sanctioned institutions and individuals on Wednesday. The latest sanctions also included two German companies and two editors at German newspaper Bild. • DW is Germany's international broadcaster. Its Farsi service operates from Bonn, Germany. • Iran's Foreign Ministry announced the sanctions in a statement, accusing those listed of supporting terrorism. Those sanctioned are subject to a travel ban and any property or assets in Iran would be confiscated. • Iran often describes protesters as terrorists. • Iran has been gripped by nationwide protests since the death in custody of 22-year-old Kurdish woman Jina Mahsa Amini on September 16. • DW Director General Peter Limbourg said the sanctions would not affect the organization's coverage of Iran, The fact that we appear on such a list now will not stop us from providing our users in Iran with reliable information. • Watch the full statement here on Youtube. • Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutsche... • For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ • Follow DW on social media: • ►Facebook: / deutschewellenews • ►Twitter: / dwnews • ►Instagram: / dwnews • ►Twitch: / dwnews_hangout • Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: / dwdeutsch • #deutschewelle #iranprotests #sanctions
