On 12 January 2018, the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated Ziaei for his role in “serious human rights abuses” in Rajai Shahr. As a result, Ziaei has been banned from entering the US and his assets in the US or under control of American companies and banks have been frozen. On 12 April 2021, the Council of the European Union added 8 Iranian officials including Gholamreza Ziaiei, to its list of human rights sanctions for their role in widespread and grave violations of the rights of Iranian citizens. According to the EU statement, “From 2017 to 2019, before taking charge of Evin Prison in Tehran, Ziaei was the director of Rajaee Shahr Prison in Karaj, west of Tehran, where there have been numerous protests by political prisoners against abuse and inhumane living conditions.” As a result of these sanctions, Ziaei has been banned from entering the EU and his assets in the EU have been frozen.
