I move:

That the Senate—
(a)
expresses its support for all Iranian citizens who embrace the values of freedom, human rights, civil liberties and rule of law;
(b)
condemns the ongoing violence against demonstrators by the Government of Iran and pro-government militias, as well as the ongoing government suppression of independent electronic communication through interference with the Internet and cell phones; and
(c)
affirms the universality of individual rights and the importance of democratic and fair elections.

Question agreed to.
