journalists reporting on an event at the Brookings Insti-

Whereas Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on May 21, 
2017, that the violence outside the Turkish Embassy was 
‘‘outrageous’’ and ‘‘simply unacceptable’’; and

Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Represent-
atives that— 
(1) the rights to peacefully assemble and freely ex-
press one’s views are essential to the fabric of American

fessional and brutal manner, reflecting poorly on Presi-

oversaw, or participated in efforts by Turkish security 
forces to illegally suppress peaceful protests on May 16,

Whereas in July 2012 a Hizballah terror attack in Bulgaria 
killed five Israeli tourists and one Bulgarian; 
Whereas in March 2013 a Hizballah operative in Cyprus was 
convicted of planning terror attacks after admitting he 
was a member of Hizballah, was trained in the use of 
weapons, and used a dual Swedish-Lebanese passport to 
travel around Europe on missions as a courier and scout 
for Hizballah; 
Whereas though such Hizballah operative was convicted on 
criminal-related charges, authorities had to drop ter-
rorism charges against him because Hizballah was not 
listed as a terrorist organization; 
Whereas the European Union (EU) in July 2013 designated 
Hizballah’s so-called ‘‘military wing’’—but not the orga-

Whereas despite restrictions put on Hizballah since the des-
