Bill > HRes925

This resolution condemns the Iranian government's systematic persecution of the Baha'i religious minority, documenting decades of human rights violations against this community. The resolution highlights numerous instances of state-sponsored discrimination, including the execution of over 200 Baha'i leaders since 1979, dismissal of over 10,000 Baha'is from government and university jobs, and ongoing targeted harassment. It references multiple international reports, including a United Nations General Assembly resolution and a U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom report, which detail specific abuses such as arbitrary arrests, property confiscation, educational restrictions, and targeting of Baha'i women. The resolution calls on the Iranian government to immediately release imprisoned Baha'is, end hate propaganda, reverse discriminatory policies, and provide equal opportunities for education and employment. Furthermore, it urges the U.S. President and Secretary of State to condemn these human rights violations, demand prisoner releases, and impose sanctions on Iranian officials responsible for these abuses, emphasizing Iran's violations of international human rights treaties to which it is a signatory.
