OIAC Organization of Iranian American Communities's video: Congressman Ted S Yoho R-FL speaks at the 2020 SUMMIT TO SUPPORT A FREE IRAN

Hello. This is Congressman Ted Yoho from Florida, and it’s an honor to speak today on the plight faced by the Iranian people as the regime continues to violently crack down on their rights to free expression and dissent. We must remember those who have given their lives in the past for a free Iran and a better future for their children, especially the 30,000 political prisoners who lost their lives in the 1988 massacre. America is not a perfect nation but our country prides itself on protecting basic rights to liberty and freedom, both at home and abroad. Congress must continue to serve this mission in regards to countries like Iran, where free thought is often brutally oppressed. To the people of Iran, please know that America stands with you in wanting to provide a better life, free from oppression and fear and we strongly support the fundamental rights of all Iranians to the rights and liberties that all should be free to enjoy. Take care.
