House Passes Moolenaar Resolution Supporting Chaldean Christians

Today, the House of Representatives passed a resolution introduced by Congressman John Moolenaar to affirm the support of the United States for Chaldeans and other religious and ethnic minorities in Iraq.

"Chaldean Christians in Iraq have been subject to countless atrocities and genocide over the last decade. This important bipartisan legislation expresses the Unites States' commitment to upholding the human rights of the Chaldean people. No one should ever be persecuted for their religious beliefs, and I am grateful my resolution has been passed by the House. The Chaldean community has made outstanding contributions to the state of Michigan, and I will continue my work to support them in Michigan and around the world," said Moolenaar.

The legislation passed the House of Representatives unanimously by voice vote. The text of H. Res. 554 can be found here.
