A resolution protecting the Iranian political refugees, including female former political prisoners, in Ashraf-3 in Albania.

This Senate resolution (SRES 599) expresses the U.S. Senate's support for protecting Iranian political refugees residing in Ashraf-3, Albania. It specifically addresses over 900 former political prisoners (including women who endured torture and witnessed Iran's 1988 massacre) who relocated from Iraq to Albania in 2016. The resolution urges the U.S. government to condemn Iran's threats - including cyberattacks and sham legal proceedings - and to assist Albania in upholding the refugees' rights under international agreements like the 1951 Refugee Convention and the European Human Rights Convention. It calls for opposing Iran's misuse of international arrest warrants to target these refugees and ensuring their freedom of expression and safety.
