On May 3, the majority of South Carolinas Legislature passed House Resolution H-4422, which expresses support for the people of Iran, who have valiantly protested for their fundamental rights and freedoms in recent years, with a specific focus on the period since September 2022. The resolution acknowledges the historical context of organized resistance against the Iranian dictatorship, led by women who have endured immense suffering. It highlights the deprivation of fundamental freedoms faced by the Iranian people and their rejection of monarchic dictatorship and religious tyranny. The resolution also emphasizes the suppression and mistreatment of ethnic and religious minorities by the Iranian regime, underscoring the need to establish a democratic, secular, and non-nuclear Republic of Iran. It also supports the ten-point plan of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the NCRIs president-elect, for the future of Iran, which guarantees all these rights.
Below is the full text of this Resolution
SUPPORTING THE PEOPLE OF IRAN WHO HAVE BEEN BRAVELY PROTESTING FOR THEIR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS IN RECENT YEARS, PARTICULARLY SINCE SEPTEMBER 2022.
Whereas recent Iranian protests are rooted in the more than four decades of organized resistance against the Iranian dictatorship, led by women who have endured torture, sexual and gender-based violence, death; and
Whereas the Iranian people have been deprived of their fundamental freedoms, so they are rejecting monarchic dictatorship and religious tyranny, as evident in their protest slogans; and
Whereas the Iranian regime has also arbitrarily and brutally suppressed ethnic and religious minorities, including Iranian Kurds, Baluchis, Arabs, Christians, Jews, Bahais, Zoroastrians, and even Sunni Muslims, and deprived them of their fundamental human rights, and has, in many cases, executed them; and
Whereas the American people support the Iranian peoples desire for a democratic, secular, and non-nuclear Republic of Iran. This sympathy was manifested in absolute majority support in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 118th Congress for H.Res.100, where it noted support for the opposition leader Mrs. Maryam Rajavis 10-point plan for the future of Iran, which calls for the universal right to vote, free elections, and a market economy, and advocates gender, religious, and ethnic equality, a foreign policy based on peaceful coexistence, and a non-nuclear Iran. This Jeffersonian platform righteously deserves the backing of every American; and
Whereas, the House of Representatives stands in solidarity with the people of Iran and support their aspirations for a democratic and secular republic government that respects human rights and the dignity of all individuals. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, support the people of Iran who have been bravely protesting for their fundamental rights and freedoms in recent years, particularly since September 2022.
