The Iranian regime fears the power of a free and informed people.
That is why it uses censorship, surveillance, and internet blackouts to silence dissent.
Today, I introduced the bipartisan IRAN Act to help the Iranian people break through the regime’s digital censorship and stay connected to the world. https://t.co/DangXXljkm
Iranian protesters shouldn't have to fear the courtroom. Their oppressors should.
If justice can't be pursued inside Iran, we should use universal jurisdiction to investigate the Iranian regime’s crimes and hold those responsible accountable in Europe.

Iran executed two men who were convicted of charges including "waging war against God."
There's a pattern to how Iran handles mass unrest, and it hasn't changed in 45 years: contain it with force, wait for the cameras to leave, then execute the participants slowly enough that no single hanging generates the international response that a mass execution would.
The charges tell you everything death sentence dressed in religious language, designed to make a political prosecution look like divine justice.
Four years after #JinaMahsaAmini’s death, the regime still answers courage with prison, bullets & executions.
But this generation has changed Iran — even if it has not yet changed the regime.
I will continue to make sure that the EU won’t stop its support to #WomanLifeFreedom.
