Dear Senator,

The systematic persecution of ethnic and religious minorities, the ongoing repression of women, and imprisonment, torture, and execution of many brave Iranians who don’t submit to Islamic Regime in Iran (IRI), as well as export of Islamic revolution and continuous threats of annihilating Israel are integral elements of the religious dictatorship in Iran.

As we witnessed in South Africa, a smart sanction will empower the Iranian people in their struggle to replace the religious dictatorship by a secular democracy. There is no need for any military intervention. The only help expected from civilized nations is to stop helping and legitimizing the Mullahs’ regime until its atomic activities and human rights violations are stopped. Release of all political prisoners should be the first step.

Senate Act S-970, although lacks the vital condition of the human right, would strengthen the current sanctions aiming at the IRI and would empower the Iranian people in their struggle for a secular democracy. There is nothing more effective than this to eliminate the danger of war.  

Please support Act S-970 and propose the inclusion of the release of the political prisoners in Iran as a precondition for relaxing the sanctions.
