It is the sense of Congress that it is imperative the United States Government should hold local Iranian law enforcement forces, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
(IRGC)officials, and other Iranian security officials accountable for the violent crackdown on protests in Iran since 2017, especially since protests in Iran have become geographically widespread and not limited solely to major urban centers. Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report that includes the following: A list, by province and city, of local Iranian law enforcement forces, IRGC officials, and other Iranian security officials responsible for the violent crackdown on protests in Iran since 2017. A list of judges and judicial officials, by province and city, responsible for gross violations of human rights in Iran, including facilitating the unjust detainment of protesters and depriving them of their right to free speech. A description of efforts by the United States to assist Iranians to access the internet during periods in which the Government of Iran has severely limited such access. The report required by subsection
(b)shall be submitted in unclassified form, but may contain a classified annex if necessary. The unclassified portion of such report shall be made available on a publicly available internet website of the Federal Government.
