Bill Summary
Recognizing and expressing support for the Iranian people protesting for a free and democratic Iran.
AI Summary
This resolution, passed by the House of Representatives, expresses strong support for the Iranian people protesting for a free and democratic Iran, acknowledging their courage in the face of brutal repression by the Islamic Republic, a regime that has denied basic human rights, silenced dissent, and responded to peaceful protests with violence, including killings, arrests, and restrictions on communication. The resolution condemns the Islamic Republic's brutality, demands an end to its violence against protesters, the release of political prisoners, and unhindered medical aid for the wounded, while recognizing the Iranian people's right to self-determination through free and fair elections and urging unrestricted internet access. It also calls on the U.S. government to work with allies to implement measures deterring further lethal violence against protesters.
