00:00 It was a year ago today that Musa Amini, the 22-year-old woman who was, you mentioned in
00:07 your introduction, was arrested by Iran's feared morality police.
00:12 She was put into the back of a van.
00:13 Now exactly what happened after that is not entirely clear.
00:18 Iran has conceded that she was arrested because there were concerns allegedly that she wasn't
00:23 wearing her hijab properly, breaking the country's strict morality laws and the restrictions that
00:28 it places on women's dress.
00:30 Her friends, or Musa Amini's friends, supporters, as well as eyewitnesses say that she was effectively
00:35 beaten in the back of the van and died as a result of that beating three days later.
00:40 The Iranian government denies that and says that she died of natural causes, but that
00:44 explanation has been dismissed by advocates for the girl and her family, saying that it
00:50 simply doesn't hold up to even the most vague scrutiny.
00:54 So the government's unveiled another round of sanctions today.
00:57 This is the fourth round that the government has unveiled over the last 10 months or so.
01:01 And this time around it's targeting people within the Iranian establishment who were
01:05 involved in the crackdown on protests that we saw in the wake of Musa Amini's death,
01:10 as well as people involved in things such as the broadcast of forced confessions on
01:16 TV.
01:17 So you see, for example, journalists who are part of Iranian state media, as well as the
01:21 head of the cyber command in Iran, as well as a police spokesperson who is publicly threatened
01:27 women and girls who are breaking those modesty laws with arrest or imprisonment.
01:32 So it's a fairly wide net that's being cast here.
