The MAHSA Act (H.R. 589 / S.2626) holds a deeply personal significance to many Americans of Iranian descent. It is named after Mahsa Amini, a young woman tragically killed by Iran's regime in 2022 for improper hijab. This bill stands as a testament to her memory, sanctioning the Supreme Leader and President of Iran for their involvement in human rights abuses and support of terrorism.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, under Senator Cardin's leadership as chairman, has an opportunity to make a profound impact on international justice by marking up this vital legislation. The MAHSA Act not only honors Mahsa's memory but also sends a clear message that human rights abuses will not be tolerated.

In addition to the MAHSA Act, there are other crucial Iran-related bills that require immediate attention from our Senators. These bills aim at holding accountable those responsible for egregious violations of human rights in Iran. We respectfully ask that Senator Cardin also markup H.R. 3774 'SHIP Act' and H.R. 5961 'No Funds for Iranian Terrorism Act'.

Senator Cardin has been an advocate for human rights throughout his career. We respectfully urge him to continue this commitment by prioritizing these critical pieces of legislation within the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Please sign this petition today to stand with us in our fight against injustice and terror. Your signature can play a crucial role in ensuring that Mahsa Amini did not die in vain and in holding Iran's leadership accountable for supporting terrorism.
