Bill > SRes145

This resolution addresses the protection of Iranian political refugees, primarily located in Ashraf-3, a settlement near Tirana, Albania. The resolution highlights the Iranian regime's ongoing human rights violations, including terrorism, suppression of protests, and persecution of political dissidents. It specifically focuses on protecting over 3,000 Iranian refugees, one-third of whom are women and many of whom are former political prisoners who have survived torture and witnessed significant human rights abuses. The resolution calls on the United States government to condemn Iranian regime threats against these refugees and the Albanian government, support the refugees' fundamental rights to freedom of expression and assembly, oppose potential extradition attempts through INTERPOL, and ensure the refugees' protection in accordance with international human rights conventions. The document emphasizes the importance of protecting these refugees, particularly highlighting their potential role as witnesses to historical human rights violations and their resistance against the Iranian regime's oppressive policies. The resolution also references the leadership of Maryam Rajavi and her Ten-Point Plan, which advocates for democratic reforms, gender equality, and peaceful coexistence.
