§8807 Impositions of Sanctions with Respect to the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting

Summary

Requires the President, after January 2, 2013, to impose the sanctions listed in section 8514(c) on the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) and its president, Ezzatollah Zargami, and to put them on the Office of Foreign Assets Control’s specially designated nationals and blocked persons list. That requirement does not include authority to impose sanctions on the importation of goods. Sections 8514(d) and 8551(b) apply to these sanctions the same way they apply to sanctions under section 8514(a). Finds that IRIB aired forced televised confessions and show trials that harmed people’s rights, and that in March 2012 the European Council sanctioned Ezzatollah Zargami for broadcasts from August 2009 and December 2011 that violated fair trial and due process.
