Iran, U.S.State Department

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz

#Maryam Rajavi says that the violation of human rights in #Iran continue to worsen under #Hassan Rouhani in #Iran, for instance more than 1500 innocent #Iranian executed during his time.  #UN experts and human rights organizations warn that ongoing negotiations on #Iran’s #nuclear weapon programs continues to overshadow abuses. This is why #U.S. Sen. #Ted Cruz who is running for president, says that the report on the Iranian regime’s handling of human rights is delayed. About this point Cruz, and Sen. #Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) have granted legislation that would retain 5 percent of the #State Department's operating budget for every 30 days that an annual human rights report is delayed.
