U.S. Representatives Frank Wolf and Mark Kirk submitted statements to the Congressional Record, calling for renewed support of seven imprisoned Baha’i leaders in the days preceding their next court session on Saturday, June 12 in Tehran. “The U.S. and the rest of the free world must continue to speak with one voice about the deplorable human rights situation in Iran,” Mr. Wolf said in his statement. “The world cannot turn a blind eye to this regime’s brutal repression of its own people.” “It is time that the United States and the international community hold Iran accountable for denying the fundamental freedoms to its people,” said Mr Kirk.
