Finnish crane manufacturer Konecranes has terminated business dealings with Iranian companies, according to a statement by United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), a non-profit group that launched a campaign in May to bring attention to the Iranian regime’s grisly misuse of cranes.

UANI publicly called on Konecranes "to end its business in Iran" in August, citing the "Iranian regimes abhorrent executions by hanging from construction cranes."

According to a UANI statement, the crane manufacturer informed the organization it would "withdraw from the Iranian market" and that it is "systematically refus[ing] all opportunities to sell new equipment and services to the country."
