Summary

Protection of Iranian political refugees in Ashraf-3 is the resolution's main aim, urging the U.S. to defend their rights and counter Iran's transnational intimidation of dissidents.

Show full summary
  • Residents of Ashraf-3, including nearly 3,000 relocated Iranian dissidents and over 900 former political prisoners, would be affirmed rights to free expression, assembly, and political activity in Albania.
  • Women in Ashraf-3, who make up about one-third of the community, would get explicit recognition for their leadership and protection from alleged misogynous pressure by Iranian authorities.
  • The resolution would press the U.S. to condemn Iran's threats and alleged cyberattacks against Albania and Ashraf-3 residents.
  • It would urge U.S. action under international law to help protect witnesses to the 1988 massacre and to oppose Iran's misuse of INTERPOL Red Notices that target dissidents.
  • The U.S. would be called to maintain close, regular cooperation with the Government of Albania and Ashraf-3 residents to ensure their fundamental rights are secured.
