Today the human dignity and human rights of the Uighur community are under threat from Beijing – Beijing’s barbarous actions, which are an outrage to the collective conscience of the world.

Across the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, the Uighur people and other Muslim minorities face brutal repression: a pervasive state of mass surveillance, including the arbitrary and nonconsensual collection of children’s DNA;

the mass incarceration of one to three million innocent people with beatings, solitary confinement, deprivation of food and medical treatment; forced sterilizations and other forms of tortures;

incidents of mass shootings and extrajudicial killings and the intimidation and suppression of journalists courageously exposing the truth.

...

In the Congress, Democrats and Republicans stand united with all people fighting for the human rights in the face of China’s abuses and, last month, we were proud to pass the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act,

which has now become law and we are grateful that the President has signed that legislation. 

If America does not speak out for human rights in China because of commercial issues, we lose all moral authority to speak out for human rights any place in the world.

In honor of the millions fighting for their dignity, safety and rights in China and around the world, I urge a strong bipartisan vote for the Uighur Intervention and Global Humanitarian Unified Response Act of 2019 and thank Mr. Smith, Mr. Sires, Mr. Sherman, Mr. Suozzi,

the Chair – Mr. Eliot Engel – and Mr. McCaul for their leadership, and I acknowledge the leadership of Senator Rubio in the United States Senate on this important legislation.
