Recognizing and expressing support for the Iranian people protesting for a free and democratic Iran.
This symbolic resolution expresses the U.S. House of Representatives' support for Iranian protesters demanding democracy and human rights. It condemns the Iranian regime's violent suppression of demonstrations, calls for the release of political prisoners, and urges expanded internet access for Iranian citizens. The resolution specifically demands an end to regime violence, recognizes the Iranian people's right to free elections, and asks the U.S. government to coordinate with allies on deterring further brutality. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws but formally states congressional support for the protesters' cause.
