Cyberspace is in their hands, they got the upper hand, and all these devices of ours could not cope with their media,&#8221; Rahim-Safavi admitted. &#8220;This situation makes our young people who have no jobs and don&#8217;t have a wife, rather vulnerable. Well, as you all know, these young people who sometimes engaged in riots, if you gave them a job, if you gave them a wife, do you think they would come to the streets?

Thousands more have been detained on trumped-up charges, and many of those in custody, especially women, have been subjected to cruel and inhumane torture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Tenney\u2019s resolution, which she introduced alongside Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) and Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (TX-10), was cosponsored by more than 60 members of Congress.
