Members of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) have sent a letter to Iran’s citizenry.

Here is an abbreviated version of the letter:

To the people of Iran:

We are Americans . . . each of us has publicly advocated the freedom of prisoners of conscience and persecuted people of all faiths and beliefs in the Islamic Republic.

In that capacity, we have pressed the United States government to give priority to the rights and freedoms of persecuted Iranians in America’s dealings with the regime in Tehran.

We write to express solidarity and support for your courageous efforts to restore your nation’s dignity and put an end to the abuses and deprivation. We are inspired by your bravery. We stand with you and call on our own government and governments and peoples throughout the world to support you by thwarting censorship and the efforts of the Tehran regime to shut down social media platforms by which the Iranian people can communicate with one another and with foreign journalists.

Human rights organizations, international journalists, governments, and embassies can assist the cause of Iranian freedom and self-determination by documenting and publicizing human rights offenses—detentions, beatings, murders. 

A clear signal should be sent that human rights issues—above all, the regime’s treatment of dissidents—will be at the top of the agenda in any state-to-state negotiation.

When Iranians rose up in 2009, too few supported them in a sustained and meaningful way. Please be assured that in 2018 we are doing everything we can.

We pray that your courageous efforts will lead swiftly to the realization of your aspirations, which we heartily endorse, for a free, peaceful, and prosperous Iran. . .”

Hopefully this act will reap better results than the pallet of cash Obama sent the oppressive regime in Iran.
