- Did you know that unilateral sanctions are illegal under U.S. and international law? Sanctions kill civilians, especially during this global COVID-19 pandemic. #EndSanctionsSaveLives @codepink codepink.org/nosanctionslegislation  <[link removed]>[link removed]
- Outrageous! The Trump administration blocked #IMF emergency loans to help #Venezuela and #Iran fight #COVID19. #EndSanctionsSaveLives @codepink codepink.org/covid19diplomacy [link removed]
- UN Human Rights Chief @mbachelet has urged the US to lift its deadly sanctions during this pandemic. U.S. sanctions are illegal!#EndSanctionsSaveLives @CODEPINK codepink.org/pathtopeace [link removed] Help Stem Coronavirus, Lift Sanctions on Iran <[link removed]>
- This is evil and cruel. The whole world is calling on Trump to lift the brutal sanctions on Iran during this pandemic, but he is doing the opposite. US sanctions have destroyed Iran's healthcare system & stunted its response to #coronavirus. #EndSanctionsSaveLives [link removed] [link removed]
