SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Stand with the Iranian People Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS; STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Government of Iran has engaged in a brutal
        crackdown on the Iranian people in the aftermath of the
        disputed presidential election of June 12, 2009, stifling
        freedom of speech, press, and assembly and violating
        fundamental human rights.
            (2) On June 23, 2009, President Obama denounced the
        crackdown on the Iranian people, saying ``The United States
        respects the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and
        is not at all interfering in Iran's affairs. But we must also
        bear witness to the courage and dignity of the Iranian people,
        and to a remarkable opening within Iranian society''.
            (3) On June 19, 2009, the House of Representatives adopted
        H. Res. 560 by a vote of 405-1, ``expressing support for all
        Iranian citizens who struggle for freedom, human rights, civil
        liberties, and the protection of the rule of law''.
            (4) Iran's security forces, particularly the Iranian
        Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Basij volunteer
        militia, have been largely responsible for the violence and
        brutality committed against the Iranian people in the recent
        unrest.
            (5) Thousands of Iranian protesters have been arrested and
        detained for taking part in public demonstrations, with many
        being raped and tortured to extract false confessions to be
        used against them and others as part of government-run ``show
        trials''.
            (6) On June 20, 2009, twenty-six year old Neda Agha Soltan
        was shot and killed by a member of the Basij militia,
        symbolizing for Iranians and people all over the world the
        government's brutal crackdown against peaceful demonstrators.
    (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
United States--
            (1) respects the sovereignty, proud history, and rich
        culture of the Iranian people;
            (2) respects the universal values of freedom of speech,
        freedom of the press, and the freedom to assemble;
            (3) respects and admires the Iranian people as they take
        steps to peacefully express their voices, opinions, and
        aspirations;
            (4) deplores and condemns the use of coerced confessions
        and ``show trials'' as tools of political repression in Iran;
            (5) urges the Government of Iran to intensify its
        cooperation on the case of Robert Levinson with the Embassy of
        Switzerland in Tehran and to share the results of its
        investigation into the disappearance of Robert Levinson with
        the Federal Bureau of Investigation; and
            (6) recognizes the importance of diplomacy with Iran in
        order to advance the national security interests of the United
        States, but such diplomacy should not be construed as official
        recognition of the declared results from the June 12, 2009,
        Iranian presidential election.
    (c) Statement of Policy.--It should be the policy of the United
States to--
            (1) work to ensure that sanctions are clearly targeted at
        the Government of Iran and individuals within the Government of
        Iran, rather than the Iranian society as a whole, in order to
        avoid creating hardship and inflicting harm on the Iranian
        people;
            (2) encourage United States allies to freeze bank accounts
        held or controlled by Iranian Government officials who have
        carried out human rights abuses against the people of Iran;
            (3) encourage United States allies to deny entrance visas
        for non-official business to Iranian Government officials who
        have carried out human rights abuses against the people of
        Iran;
            (4) work in the United Nations Security Council to impose
        multilateral political and financial sanctions against Iranian
        Governmental officials, including officials of the IRGC and
        Basij militia, who have carried out human rights abuses against
        the people of Iran;
            (5) work within the United Nations to focus international
        attention on and investigate human rights abuses in Iran, and
        to secure the release of prisoners of conscience;
            (6) apply targeted political and financial sanctions
        against a foreign person or foreign entity that provides
        illicit support to the IRGC and Basij militia;
            (7) encourage cooperation between United States and Iranian
        nongovernmental organizations, particularly with regard to
        facilitating people-to-people exchanges; and
            (8) expedite admission to the United States of any national
        of Iran who is under threat of severe penalty as a result of
        participating in or reporting on pro-democracy activities
        inside Iran, and should encourage other governments to accept
        such Iranian refugees for resettlement, provided applicants
        have not engaged in or provided support for acts of terrorism
        and satisfy all criteria for acquiring refugee status.
