 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Condemns the repressive actions taken by the Iranian Government against the democratic movement of Iran.

Expresses the sense of Congress that: (1) the Iranian Government should respect the fundamental principles contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, cease its repression of peaceful dissent, and release, unharmed, detained pro-democracy activists; (2) the President of the United States should give clear voice to the abhorrence of the American people for the violence used against the activists and to U.S. solidarity with the values and objectives that they have espoused; (3) the European allies of the United States who maintain political and economic relations with Iran should convey their own concerns and objections to the Iranian authorities; (4) the Secretary of State should urge the Secretary General of the United Nations (UN) to exercise his influence with the Iranian Government to secure release of such activists; (5) the Secretary of State should urge the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to convey to the Iranian Government her concern for their safety and should assist in securing their prompt release; and (6) the U.S. delegate to the UN Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities should introduce a resolution calling for their release and the termination of repressive actions against the non-violent and democratic student movement of Iran.
