About HR-317

Calling for the unconditional release of United States citizens and legal permanent resident aliens being held for political purposes by the Government of Iran. Calls on the government of Iran to:

  • (1) release Siamak Namazi, Baquer Namazi, Xiyue Wang, Nizar Zakka, and any other U.S. citizen, legal permanent resident alien, or foreign national being unjustly detained in Iran; and
  • (2) fulfill its promises to assist in locating and returning Robert Levinson

Encourages the President to:

  • (1) take meaningful action to secure the release of such individuals if Iran does not do so, and
