In a landmark move, the bipartisan “Congressional ASHRAF Protection and Rights Advocacy Caucus” is spearheading efforts to address the challenges faced by Iranian dissidents residing in Ashraf-3, Albania. This Caucus, a Congressional Member Organization (CMO) of the United States Congress, is dedicated to advocating for the protection of human and civil rights in Iran.
The initiative, led by Co-Chairs from both Republican and Democratic parties, serves as a pivotal platform for Members of Congress to engage in substantive discussions on the evolving issues surrounding the well-being of Iranian dissidents. With a focus on critical areas such as protection, advocacy, and safeguarding dissidents from persecution, the Caucus collaborates with U.S. agencies and European allies to hold Iran accountable for its violations.
