The European Union lifted the sanctions on the company Arvan Cloud
The European Union removed the name of the technology company Arvan Cloud from its list of human rights sanctions, which had been added less than 17 months ago against individuals and entities associated with the Islamic Republic.
According to what was published in the official journal of the European Union on Friday, April 6th, this decision was made a day earlier, and the company has been removed from the union’s sanctions list.
Arvan Cloud was among the companies that were added to the European Union’s sanctions list in late November 2022 due to its role in imposing internet restrictions, aiding in the suppression of protests, and violating human rights in Iran, along with the Basij Cooperative Foundation and the Press TV network.
In late November 2019, following street protests in dozens of Iranian cities due to the sudden increase in gasoline prices, access to the global internet was reduced to only about five percent for at least five days.
The Islamic Republic, with the support of companies like Arvan Cloud, was able to facilitate the complete shutdown of internet access for the Iranian people during the November 2019 protests.
