Per the reports from the Washington Free Beacon, Representative Jim Hagedorn (MN-01) will be introducing a resolution with +20 cosponsors marking the two-year anniversary of the November 2019 protests in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The Iranian Americans for Liberty applaud Rep. Hagedorn for his leadership on this important issue to the Iranian American community. The Congressman’s resolution, supported by many of his House colleagues, will send a clear message to the government in Tehran that U.S. lawmakers will not remain silent as the Islamic Republic continues to violate the basic human rights of their citizens on a weekly basis.

We call on President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken to immediately revise their March 2021 report and furthermore, to stop engaging in diplomacy with the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism.
