The Mahsa Amini Human Rights and Security Accountability Act, or the MAHSA Act, is a bill newly introduced to the 118th Congress as H.R. 589 that would require the President to determine whether high-ranking officials of the Islamic Republic regime in Iran should be listed under existing US sanction for human rights abuses and support of terrorism.
The MAHSA Act specifically targets:
1. The Supreme Leader of Iran and any official in the Office of the Supreme Leader of Iran
2. The President of Iran and any official in the Office of the President of Iran
3. Any entity that is overseen by the Office of the Supreme Leader of Iran that is complicit in supporting human rights abuses or terrorism. This would include the blocking of property, visa bans, and other measures to hold these individuals and entities accountable.
Since taking the role as Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair, Senator Ben Cardin has yet to advance any legislation. Several important Iran-related bills, including the Mahsa Act, are waiting to be reported by Sen. Cardin. We urge the SFRC & its chairman to get to work and prioritize these crucial matters.
Call & tweet Maryland's Senator, Ben Cardin, asking him to markup the Mahsa Act (HR 589) & the No Funds for Iranian Terrorism Act (HR 5961) in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Sen. Cardin DC Office: (202) 224-4524
SFRC Office: (202) 224-4651
