These violations may only be part of the human rights violations that this person has been involved in. The investigation into this person's human rights record is ongoing.

In a decision dated 25 April, 2012, the European Union placed Zarghami on the list of human rights sanctions for its role in widespread and serious violations of the rights of Iranian citizens. According to this decision, Zarghami will be barred from entering the countries of this union and all his assets in Europe will be confiscated. According to an EU statement, "broadcasting forced confessions and show trials" on networks run by Zarghami were among the reasons for his sanction.

 

In February 2012, the US Treasury Department placed Zarghami, the then-head of the IRIB on its human rights sanctions list because of his role in producing and broadcasting forced confession extracted under torture. According to this decision, Zarghami's potential assets in the United States will be seized and he will be barred from entering the country.
