IRANIAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY OF NORTH TEXAS SUPPORTS H.RES. 627: JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS OF IRANIAN REGIME'S HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES
IACNT; July 28, 2023
DALLAS, TEXAS — The Iranian-American Community of North Texas (IACNT) firmly supports House Resolution 627 (H.Res. 627) introduced yesterday by Representative Lance Gooden and joined by over 40 original co-sponsors, including many bipartisan Texas representatives. It calls for accountability of the Iranian regime leaders for their severe human rights violations, specifically the 1988 massacre of political prisoners and recent uprisings.
H.Res. 627 addresses two critical concerns of our community: justice for the victims of the 1988 massacre, the majority of whom were supporters of the People's Mojahedin of Iran (MEK), and the protection and full refugee rights of Iranian political refugees based in Ashraf 3, Albania. These issues are of utmost importance to us as we have many community members with relatives in Ashraf 3 and many others who have lost loved ones in the 1988 massacre.

July 2, 2023; The Washington Times
Thousands of supporters of the world’s biggest exiled Iranian dissident group rallied in France over the weekend, calling for the overthrow of the theocratic regime at an event that drew support from top international figures.
“[The] Iranian regime has never been weaker than it is today,” former Vice President Mike Pence, a 2024 presidential hopeful, told a conference that occurred in coordination with the rally. The National Council of Resistance of Iran and its associate group, the exiled People’s Mujahedin of Iran (MEK) orchestrated the event.

Iranian dissidents living in exile fault US, Europe for ascending to Tehran after latest developments
Opponents of Iran’s authoritarian government accused two European governments of doing the bidding of Tehran on Tuesday as their headquarters were raided in a violent police action and officials denied their bid to hold a rally in the streets of Paris.
The two separate developments for the MEK, a group of Iranians who have fought against the Ayatollah’s government for decades, occurred within hours of each other and drew serious questions about whether Tehran’s influence was once again being reasserted after months of protests embarassed the country’s government beginning last year.
Iranian American Community of North Texas (IACNT) Welcomes Letter by 108 Former World Leaders, Supporting Iran Protests and Holding Iran Regime Accountable
IACNT, May 24 2023
The recent letter signed by former Vice President Mike Pence and 107 other former world leaders, urging President Joe Biden and his counterparts in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Europe to adopt a tougher approach towards Iran and support Iranian anti-government protesters, is a significant development that reflects the growing international concern over the Iranian regime's oppressive policies.
The letter rightly emphasizes the need to hold the leadership of the Islamic Republic of Iran accountable for its crimes. It calls for blacklisting the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) and ensuring that regime officials are held responsible for their crimes against humanity. The IRGC's designation as a terrorist organization by the U.S. underscores the international recognition of its destructive and destabilizing role in the region.

More than 100 members of Congress co-sponsored a resolution on Wednesday that condemned the Iranian regime and supported protests in the country spurred by Mahsa Amini's death in September.
The resolution, sponsored by Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA), was introduced to the House Foreign Affairs Committee with 165 co-sponsors and supported the protesters' goal of a "democratic, secular, and nonnuclear Republic of Iran." The resolution also "condemned violations of human rights and state-sponsored terrorism by the Iranian Government," according to an advance copy of the resolution obtained by the Washington Examiner.
