NEW YORK, Aug. 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In Iran in last 365 days,
 there have been over 5000 rallies, strikes and demonstrations against the
 Iranian regime. According to Amnesty International, Iran continues to have
 one of the highest rates of executions in the world. The reported
 executions in 2007 have already exceeded 150. Presently, political
 opponents in Iran are charged with bogus criminal offenses and then
 executed in public. The United Nations has at least 52 times condemned the
 Iranian government.
     House bills H. CON. RES. 21 & H. RES. 43 call on the United Nations
 Security Council to charge Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with
 violating the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime
 of Genocide and the United Nations Charter because of his calls for the
 destruction of the State of Israel.
     For nearly 30 years, Iranian government has incited and then exploited
 public sentiments to spread negative propaganda against Christians, Jews,
 and Bahaies. A great example of such exploitation is Ahmadinejad's call for
 the destruction of Israel.
     Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is leading a dangerous crusade
 against the Iranian people and the civilized world. Ahmadinejad's Iran's
 Revolutionary Guards (IRG) organization is responsible for killing and
 torture of the Iranian people as well as training and equipping terrorist
 in Iraq.
     Beginning in 2005, the Committee against Ahmadinejad (CAA) been led the
 effort in exposing Ahmadinejad's activities as well as organizing protests
 against his presence at the United Nations General Assembly. In the past 2
 years, 30 members of the United States Congress, dozens of religious
 leaders, and numerous human rights advocates have supported CAA.
     Once again, the United Nations General Assembly meeting is scheduled to
 begin in mid-September, 2007. Accordingly, CAA once more commences in order
 to mobilize the broad voices of discontent against Ahmadinejad, specially
 embracing the following goals:
     1. Call the freedom and peace loving public citizens to voice solidarity
        with the families and victims of atrocities in both Iran and Iraq, as
        well as the victims of Iranian regime's terrorist acts in Buenos Aires,
        Khobar Tower and Lebanon Marine Barracks,
     2. Call for U.N. member states to act by referring Iran's humans rights
        file to the U.N. Security Council for crime against humanity,
     3. Urge the United Nations to appoint a special envoy to investigate
        Iran's human rights violations.
     4. Call the US government to deny Ahmadinejad's presence in US.
