RESOLUTION 
Recognizing the two-year anniversary of the November 2019

Whereas, on November 15, 2019, scattered protests through-
out Iran began over a surprise increase in gasoline prices; 
Whereas, by November 17, 2019, the unrest had reached the

burning pictures of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali 
Khamenei; 
Whereas after days of protests across Iran, Supreme Leader 
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued an order to ‘‘do whatever 
it takes to stop them’’; 
Whereas that order, confirmed by three sources close to the 
Supreme Leader’s inner circle and a fourth official, set 
in motion the bloodiest crackdown on protesters since the 
Islamic Revolution in 1979; 
Whereas nearly 1,500 people, including 17 children and over 
400 women, were killed during less than two weeks of un-
rest, as confirmed by three Iranian Ministry of the Inte-
rior officials; 
Whereas, on November 23, 2019, the former Special Rep-
resentative for Iran, Brian Hook, stated the ‘‘report on 
the massacre order by Khamenei underscores the urgency 
for the international community to punish the perpetra-
tors and isolate the regime for the murder of 1,500 Ira-
nian citizens’’; 
Whereas during President Donald Trump’s administration, 
the Department of State released an official report citing 
the death toll as 1,500; 
Whereas, in March 2021, the Department of State under the 
Biden administration released a revised report of the No-
vember 2019 protests that lowered the death toll from 
the confirmed 1,500 to a revised 304; 
Whereas the revised, smaller death toll of the November 2019 
massacre comes from Amnesty International, which has 
admitted that the assessment of casualties is incomplete; 
Whereas the move by the Biden administration underscores 
its commitment to appeasing the Iranian regime; and

Whereas the vast majority of Iranians living in Iran do not 
support the authoritarian dictatorship of Supreme Leader 
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and do not have access to basic 
human rights: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes the two-year anniversary of the 
November 2019 massacre by the Islamic Republic of 
Iran; 
(2) condemns, in the strongest possible terms, 
the human rights atrocities committed against Ira-
nians by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei; 
and 
(3) strongly urges the Department of State to 
restore the recognized death toll of the November 
2019 massacre to 1,500.
