S.Res. 819 — A resolution condemning the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran for its ongoing human rights abuses, including its use of politically motivated espionage claims to justify arbitrary detention and executions.

This section condemns the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran for widespread and systematic human rights violations and for using politically motivated espionage and national security charges to imprison and execute opponents. It calls on Iran to halt such executions, provide due process and legal counsel to all detainees, and release individuals held solely for peaceful exercise of expression, religion, assembly, or association. It supports the Iranian people in pursuing freedom and democracy, encourages the President, Secretary of State, and U.S. allies to impose targeted sanctions and conduct international investigations, and affirms continued U.S. exposure of Iran's misuse of such charges.
