This resolution recognizes and expresses support for the Iranian people who are courageously protesting for a free and democratic Iran, enduring nearly five decades of brutal repression under the Islamic Republic. It highlights the regime's denial of human rights, silencing of dissidents, and violent response to peaceful demonstrations, including the 2022 "Women, Life, Freedom" protests. The House of Representatives commends the bravery and resolve of the Iranian people and strongly condemns the brutality of the Islamic Republic in suppressing civilian protesters. It demands that the Iranian regime cease its threats and violence, release all political prisoners, and allow unhindered medical assistance to wounded demonstrators. Furthermore, the resolution recognizes the Iranian people's right to determine their political regime through free and fair elections and urges the immediate expansion of unrestricted internet access and civilian lines of communication across Iran. It also implores the Government of the United States to work in coordination with its allies to consider and implement concrete measures to deter further lethal violence against protesters.
