Rep. McCormick Honors Iranians Fighting for Freedom

WASHINGTON - Rep. Rich McCormick has co-sponsored a resolution commending the bravery, courage, and resolve of the women and men of Iran demonstrating in more than 133 cities and risking their safety to speak out against the Iranian regime's human rights abuses. 

"I rise today in support of the people of Iran, as they struggle against an oppressive and dangerous regime," said Rep. McCormick. "I also commend our great Iranian-American community in Georgia and across this nation, who hope that their friends and family on the other side of the world may one day have the freedom and prosperity we all enjoy in the United States."  

For four consecutive months, Iranians have been protesting and calling for the downfall of the clerical regime in Tehran. Their rulers have brutally repressed dissidents and protesters, killing women who violate their dress codes, and men who stand up for their sisters, mothers, wives, and daughters.
