DIVISION L—MAHSA ACT 
SEC. 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This division may be cited as the ‘‘Mahsa Amini Human rights 
and Security Accountability Act’’ or the ‘‘MAHSA Act’’. 
SEC. 2. IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS ON IRAN’S SUPREME LEADER’S 
OFFICE, ITS APPOINTEES, AND ANY AFFILIATED PERSONS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The Supreme Leader is an institution of the Islamic 
Republic of Iran. 
(2) The Supreme Leader holds ultimate authority over 
Iran’s judiciary and security apparatus, including the Ministry 
of Intelligence and Security, law enforcement forces under the 
Interior Ministry, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps 
(IRGC), and the Basij, a nationwide volunteer paramilitary 
group subordinate to the IRGC, all of which have engaged 
in human rights abuses in Iran. Additionally the IRGC, a 
United States designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, which 
reports to the Supreme Leader, continues to perpetrate ter-
rorism around the globe, including attempts to kill and kidnap 
American citizens on United States soil. 
(3) The Supreme Leader appoints the head of Iran’s 
judiciary. International observers continue to criticize the lack 
of independence of Iran’s judicial system and maintained that 
trials disregarded international standards of fairness. 
(4) The revolutionary courts, created by Iran’s former 
Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini, within Iran’s judiciary, 
are chiefly responsible for hearing cases of political offenses, 
operate in parallel to Iran’s criminal justice system and rou-
tinely hold grossly unfair trials without due process, handing 
down predetermined verdicts and rubberstamping executions 
for political purpose. 
(5) The Iranian security and law enforcement forces engage 
in serious human rights abuse at the behest of the Supreme 
Leader.
H. R. 815—83 
(6) Iran’s President, Ebrahim Raisi, sits at the helm of 
the most sanctioned cabinet in Iranian history which includes 
internationally sanctioned rights violators. Raisi has supported 
the recent crackdown on protestors and is a rights violator 
himself, having served on a ‘‘death commission’’ in 1988 that 
led to the execution of several thousand political prisoners 
in Iran. He most recently served as the head of Iran’s judiciary, 
a position appointed by Iran’s current Supreme Leader Ali 
Khamenei, and may likely be a potential candidate to replace 
Khamenei as Iran’s next Supreme Leader. 
(7) On September 16, 2022, a 22-year-old woman, Mahsa 
Amini, died in the detention of the Morality Police after being 
beaten and detained for allegedly transgressing discriminatory 
dress codes for women. This tragic incident triggered wide-
spread, pro-women’s rights, pro-democracy protests across all 
of Iran’s 31 provinces, calling for the end to Iran’s theocratic 
regime. 
(8) In the course of the protests, the Iranian security forces’ 
violent crackdown includes mass arrests, well documented 
beating of protestors, throttling of the internet and tele-
communications services, and shooting protestors with live 
ammunition. Iranian security forces have reportedly killed hun-
dreds of protestors and other civilians, including women and 
children, and wounded many more. 
(9) Iran’s Supreme Leader is the leader of the ‘‘Axis of 
Resistance’’, which is a network of Tehran’s terror proxy and 
partner militias materially supported by the Islamic Revolu-
tionary Guard Corps that targets the United States as well 
as its allies and partners. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) the United States shall stand with and support the 
people of Iran in their demand for fundamental human rights; 
(2) the United States shall continue to hold the Islamic 
Republic of Iran, particularly the Supreme Leader and Presi-
dent, accountable for abuses of human rights, corruption, and 
export of terrorism; and 
(3) Iran must immediately end its gross violations of inter-
nationally recognized human rights. 
(c) IN GENERAL.— 
(1) DETERMINATION AND REPORT REQUIRED.—Not later than 
90 days after the date of the enactment of this division, and

person meets the criteria for imposition of sanc-
tions;

authorized by any of the sanctions programs and 
authorities identified pursuant to subclause (I)
