Press Release by @RepMcClintock: "McClintock Introduced House Resolution With Over 160 Co-sponsors in Support of a Free, Democratic, and Secular Republic in Iran." #IranRevolution2023 mcclintock.house.gov/newsroom/press… 
@RepMcClintock "A broad bi-partisan coalition of 165 house members joined Congressman Tom McClintock (CA-05) today to announce the introduction of House Resolution 100, voicing support for the Iranian Resistance Council’s ten-point plan for a democratic, secular & non-nuclear Republic of Iran."
"This resolution recognizes that the current protests are rooted in more than four decades of organized resistance against the Iranian dictatorship, which, for years, has been led by women who have endured torture, sexual & gender-based violence, and death," @RepMcClintock said.
"Mrs. Maryam Rajavi,president-elect of the Paris-based National Council of Resistance of Iran, addressed the press conference virtually, 'I am confident that this revolution will succeed,because the people of Iran are determined to end this regime& are willing to pay the price.'”
The Resolution refers to “support for the opposition leader Mrs. Maryam Rajavi’s 10-point plan for the future of Iran, which calls for the universal right to vote, free elections, a market economy & advocates gender, religious & ethnic equality...” @RepMcClintock statement said.
The resolution “calls on relevant US Gov. agencies to work with European allies,” to hold Iran “accountable ... and to call on nations to prevent the malign activities of the Iranian regime’s diplomatic missions, with the goal of closing them down and expelling its agents.”
"H.Res.100 urges the US to 'be involved in any establishment of an int'l investigation into the 1988 extrajudicial killings' of thousands of political prisoners in Iran, mostly members of the main Iranian opposition movement, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK)," @RepMcClintock said.
"@RepMcClintock commended grassroots work of Iranian-American communities all across the US for their relentless advocacy in being the true voice of the Iranian ppl by reaching out to their Members of Congress, evident in the high # of original co-sponsors of this resolution."
