Rep Steve Cohen supports Iran protests<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bipartisan members of congress joined Iranian Americans<\/a> from across the U.S. at a House Briefing titled,\u201d Iran Uprising: The Nation Rises for Freedom,\u201d and expressed support for ongoing protests in Iran urged the international community to hold Iranian regime accountable for indiscriminate and deadly use of force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep Steve Cohen (D-TN) who along with Rep. McClintock Co-Chairs the IHRDC, called the repression of the Iranian people \u201cawful.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve read about what\u2019s going on in Iran and it\u2019s awful. The repression of the people<\/a> and the people have risen up, people will always rise up for freedom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve done that here in America on behalf of your Iranians that are still in Iran. The deaths have been saddening, you\u2019ve got a thousand fallen during this Iran uprising<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven\u2019t had a chance to look at all he faces, but the ones I see, and when you do I mean it just really does break your heart to think that people are dying and the government is doing these things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, it\u2019s really unfortunate and we need to support and hope that the voices for freedom that express themselves around the world are heard and they\u2019re heard strongly in Hong Kong but they\u2019re also heard in Iran. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The voices in Iran need to be heard and listened to. And I thank you for having me here. I\u2019m proud to be one-twentieth. Thank you.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
