A senior Iranian lawmaker says Iran's Parliament (Majlis) plans to release the names of 26 American officials against whom Tehran has imposed sanctions.

“This bill, which concerns imposing sanctions against American officials who have a history of rights violation, was discussed in the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission's Sunday session,” Hossein Ebrahimi said on Monday.

“The bill has not been finalized or approved by the National Security Commission but the proposal envisions imposing sanctions on 26 American officials by the Islamic Republic,” deputy chairman of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission said.

In May, Amnesty International (AI) slammed the United States for its indefinite detentions in Afghanistan and at the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba, as well as its flawed capital punishment system.

In October 2010, the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) also released a report expressing serious concern about human rights abuse in the US.

The report by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) pointed to rights violations and concerns regarding torture, police brutality, and wide-ranging discriminations that the US government has neglected to properly address.

2. Only 26? We got longer lists for you if you need them.

Guess you have to start somewhere though.

I wonder if they will be politicians, scientists or military personal?
