I move:
- That the Senate—
- (a)
- expresses its support for all Iranian citizens who embrace the values of freedom, human rights, civil liberties and rule of law;
- (b)
- condemns the ongoing violence against demonstrators by the Government of Iran and pro-government militias, as well as the ongoing government suppression of independent electronic communication through interference with the Internet and cell phones; and
- (c)
- affirms the universality of individual rights and the importance of democratic and fair elections.
Question agreed to.
