Cosponsored: Recognizing and expressing support for the Iranian people protesting for a free and democratic Iran

No ties to the MEK
15points off the grade
The MEK is an exile group led by Maryam Rajavi that fought beside Saddam Hussein against Iran. Signing one of its resolutions in Congress, or speaking at its events, is a tie.
- Tie
Cosponsored: Expressing support for the Iranian people's desires for a democratic, secular, and nonnuclear Republic of Iran
Condemns the regime's terrorism and repression and cites support for the ten-point plan of Maryam Rajavi of the MEK-linked National Council of Resistance of Iran. It says Iranian protesters 'rejected monarchical dictatorship' as well as the ruling theocracy. The text backs the ten-point plan of Maryam Rajavi, who leads the political arm of the MEK, and says Iranians have rejected the monarchy. It takes one exile group's side on who should lead after the regime, against Prince Reza Pahlavi. So signing it counts as a tie to the MEK.
