Plain-English Summary

This bill would authorize the U.S. government to impose sanctions and take other actions against Iranian officials and entities responsible for human rights abuses, internet censorship, and suppression of free speech. It aims to support Iranian citizens' ability to access information online and hold the Iranian government accountable for violations like arbitrary detention and torture. The legislation would likely direct the State Department and Treasury Department to identify and punish those involved in these abuses through financial penalties and travel restrictions.
