AN ACT To impose sanctions on the Supreme Leader of Iran and the President of Iran and their respective offices for human rights abuses and support for terrorism.
AI Summary
This bill, the Mahsa Amini Human rights and Security Accountability Act (MAHSA Act), aims to impose sanctions on the Supreme Leader of Iran and the President of Iran, as well as their respective offices, for human rights abuses and support for terrorism. The bill provides findings on the Supreme Leader's control over Iran's judiciary, security forces, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which have engaged in human rights violations. It also highlights the recent crackdown on protests following the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman, in the custody of Iran's Morality Police. The bill requires the President to determine whether specific foreign persons, including the Supreme Leader, the President, and their affiliates, meet the criteria for sanctions under various existing sanctions programs and authorities, and to impose those sanctions accordingly. The bill also includes provisions for Congressional oversight and severability.
