[EX Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Iran Human Rights Sanctions Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Iran voted in the United Nations General Assembly on 
        December 10, 1948, to adopt the Universal Declaration of Human 
        Rights, thereby committing to guarantee the ``life, liberty, 
        and security of person'' of all people and rejecting ``cruel, 
        inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment''.
            (2) The Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran 
        guarantees certain human rights and fundamental freedoms, 
        including political and civil rights, along with economic, 
        social, and cultural rights, including a prohibition on torture 
        and a guarantee of sentencing according to the law.
            (3) The Islamic Republic of Iran is a party to 4 major 
        United Nations human rights treaties: the Convention on the 
        Rights of the Child (which it ratified on July 13, 1994), the 
        International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of 
        Racial Discrimination (which it ratified on August 29, 1968), 
        and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights 
        and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural 
        Rights (both of which it ratified on June 24, 1975).
            (4) The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran is 
        violating its international and constitutional obligations to 
        respect the human rights and fundamental freedoms of its 
        citizens, including by--
                    (A) using torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading 
                treatment or punishment, including flogging, and 
                amputations;
                    (B) carrying out an increasingly high rate of 
                executions in the absence of internationally recognized 
                safeguards, including public executions and executions 
                of juvenile offenders;
                    (C) using stoning as a method of execution and 
                maintaining a high number of persons in prison who 
                continue to face sentences of execution by stoning;
                    (D) carrying out arrests, violent repression, and 
                sentencing of women exercising their right to peaceful 
                assembly, a campaign of intimidation against women's 
                rights defenders, and continuing discrimination against 
                women and girls;
                    (E) permitting or carrying out increasing 
                discrimination and other human rights violations 
                against persons belonging to religious, ethnic, 
                linguistic, or other minorities;
                    (F) imposing ongoing, systematic, and serious 
                restrictions of freedom of peaceful assembly and 
                association and freedom of opinion and expression, 
                including the continuing closures of media outlets, 
                arrests of journalists, and the censorship of 
                expression in online forums such as blogs and websites; 
                and
                    (G) imposing severe limitations and restrictions on 
                freedom of religion and belief, including by carrying 
                out arbitrary arrests, indefinite detentions, and 
                lengthy jail sentences for those exercising their 
                rights to freedom of religion or belief and proposing a 
                provision in a draft penal code that sets out a 
                mandatory death sentence for apostasy, the abandoning 
                of one's faith.
            (5) On June 19, 2009, the United Nations High Commissioner 
        for Human Rights expressed concerns about the increasing number 
        of arrests not in conformity with the law and the illegal use 
        of excessive force in responding to protests following the June 
        12, 2009, elections in Iran, resulting in at least dozens of 
        deaths and hundreds of injuries.
            (6) On August 1, 2009, authorities in the Islamic Republic 
        of Iran began a mass trial of more than 100 individuals in 
        connection with election protests, most of whom were held for 
        weeks, in solitary confinement, with little or no access to 
        their lawyers or families, and many of whom showed signs of 
        torture or abuse.
            (7) The Supreme Leader of Iran issued a statement on 
        October 28, 2009, effectively criminalizing dissent in the 
        aftermath of the national election of June 12, 2009.
            (8) On November 4, 2009, security forces in the Islamic 
        Republic of Iran used brutal force to disperse thousands of 
        protesters, resulting in a number of injuries and arrests, in 
        violation of international standards regarding the 
        proportionate use of force against peaceful demonstrations.
            (9) At least 8 citizens of Iran were killed and an 
        undetermined number were injured on December 27, 2009, when 
        security forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran violently broke 
        up peaceful gatherings during the Ashura holiday.
            (10) The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has 
        recently sentenced numerous Iranian citizens to death without 
        due process for politicized crimes relating to the peaceful 
        demonstrations that followed the June 12, 2009, elections, 
        including ``waging war against God'', and has begun carrying 
        out those execution sentences, including the death by hanging 
        of 2 individuals on January 28, 2010.

SEC. 3. IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS ON CERTAIN PERSONS WHO ARE COMPLICIT IN 
              HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES COMMITTED AGAINST CITIZENS OF IRAN OR

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) charities have served a unique and essential role in 
        meeting the needs of the American people;
            (2) charities have healed the sick, fed the hungry, 
        sheltered the needy, and educated our children;
            (3) in order to ensure that charities can continue to meet 
        the needs of the American people, the Federal Government should 
        do everything possible to encourage charitable giving;
            (4) charities should be able to raise funds and invest 
        funds, both on their own and collectively with other charities, 
        without excessive Government intervention or unnecessary legal 
        or regulatory requirements;
            (5) the Congress, in passing the Technical Corrections Act 
        of 1988, differentiated between charitable gift annuities and 
        annuities issued by commercial organizations for profit; and
            (6) unlike commercial annuities, charitable gift annuities 
        are not issued for profit, and their issuance, maintenance, and 
        investment by charities is not subject to the anticompetitive 
        prohibitions of the Federal antitrust laws.
