Latta-backed resolution supporting Iranian protesters passes House

US Congressman Bob Latta

 A resolution to support Iranian protesters that was co-sponsored by U.S. Bob Latta, R-Bowling Green, passed the U.S. House of Representatives in a 415-2 vote on Jan. 9.
H. Res. 676 expresses that the House favors 'supporting the rights of the people of Iran to free expression, condemning the Iranian regime for its crackdown on legitimate protests, and for other purposes.'
The resolution also mentions that more than 1,000 Iranians have been arrested and almost two dozen killed in connection with the protests that began on Dec. 28.
'The people of Iran have had enough of their corrupt government leadership, and the regime has ignored the needs of its people for far too long' said Latta. 'Despite receiving an influx of billions of dollars and sanctions relief from the nuclear deal struck with the Obama Administration, the citizens of Iran have seen no improvement in the quality of their daily lives. Supporting the Iranian people's ability to peacefully demonstrate without fear of imprisonment or death at the hands of their government should not be a partisan issue.
'While we were assured by the previous Administration that President Rouhani's government was composed of the 'moderates' in the country, they have responded as all previous Iranian regimes have -- by restricting civil liberties, violating human rights, and unlawfully detaining or killing their own people. While other countries stay silent, it's important that the United States speak up loudly against this government crack-down.'
Iran is also the world's largest state sponsor of terror. The U.S. House passed two bills in December that would seek to stop financial support for Iran's terror activities and have previously passed additional sanctions to be placed on Iran.

Iran reacts to UN’s 64th resolution with continued executions

By a recorded vote of 81 in favor, 30 against, and 70 abstentions, the Assembly adopted its resolution on the “Situation of human rights in Iran”.

 The Iranian regime hanged eight inmates on December 20, 2017, in Rajaii Shahr Prison of Karaj, west of Tehran. The prisoners had been transferred to solitary confinement on December 18, in a group of 10, in preparation for their executions.
Four of the victims are identified as Mostafa Chardouli, Amirabbas Ardestari, Nima Esmailian and 24-year-old Hamid Abdollahi, who had been on death row since five years ago.
Two prisoners identified as Mohammad Ghobad and Ali Masoumi have had their executions scheduled but were postponed at the last minute.
The mass execution came one day after the United NationsGeneral Assembly adopted its 64th resolution on Tuesday, December 19, against violations of human right in Iran.
In another development, a prisoner was hanged on December 19 in Central Prison of Zanjan, northwestern Iran. Yasin Abedi was found guilty of murder. He had been on death row since 2012.
Another inmate identified as Mehrdad Mohammadi, 33 was hanged on December 17 in Dizel Abad Prison of Kermanshah, western Iran. He was also found guilty of murder.
Iran continues its unabated executions, defying the wave of international criticism at its human rights violations.
UN General Assembly adopted its 64th resolution on Tuesday, December 19, against violations of human right in Iran.
By a recorded vote of 81 in favor, 30 against, and 70 abstentions, the Assembly adopted its resolution on the “Situation of human rights in Iran”. The Assembly expressed serious concern over use of the death penalty and urged Iran to eliminate all discrimination and rights violations against women and girls.
The UN General Assembly expressed “serious concern at the alarmingly high frequency of the imposition and carrying-out of the death penalty… including the imposition of the death penalty against minors and persons who at the time of their offence were under the age of 18, and executions undertaken for crimes that do not qualify as the most serious crimes, on the basis of forced confessions” and called on the Iranian regime “to abolish, in law and in practice, public executions.”
