Following Allahkaram’s Ansar-e-Hezbollah’s attacks on women using acid as well as against students with tear gas, electric batons and knives, Allahkaram as well as co-founder Abdolhamid Mohtasham were sanctioned by the United States Department of the Treasury.[6] Allahkaram is also under EU sanctions.[7]
