China Commission

China operates the world’s most extensive #cybercensorship regime. #RuanXiaohuan serves a 7-year sentence for teaching people how to bypass China’s #GreatFirewall, a system that dangerously limits what the Chinese people know about the world. He should be freed unconditionally. Learn more▶️bit.ly/4bkdksL

Tibetan writer #ThubtenLodroe, AKA #Sabuchey has spent over 4 years in prison for his writings on culture and society in #Tibet. He should be released immediately and the PRC officials who abused him and others on custody should be held accountable. Learn more about Thubten Lodroe➡️ bit.ly/4dbyT16

On #InternationalWomensDay, @CECCGov honors the women in #China who take a stand for dignity and human rights—writers, organizers, and lawyers choosing to speak the truth, often at great personal cost. Their courage and resilience should remind us that a more just and democratic future for China is possible.

China is attacking U.S. sovereignty and freedoms through #TransnationalRepression. 📖 Read more from @CECCGov Chair @SenDanSullivan and Senate Ranking Member @SenJeffMerkley wsj.com/opinion/china-…

This week, #XuZhiyong spent another birthday arbitrarily detained for simply holding private discussions about a more just and democratic future for China. #DingJiaxi, #HuangXueqin, #PengLifa, and so many others are jailed for peacefully trying to build such a future, all should be released. @liqiaochu01 Learn more about Xu Zhiyong and his New Citizens’ Movement➡️bit.ly/4sbs0B6

Kwok Yin-sang, the father of @AnnaKwokFY, was given an 8-month sentence under #HongKong’s National Security Law because he attempted to withdraw funds from his daughter’s insurance policy. This is an unacceptable form of “hostage-taking” used to intimidate and censor dissent, and it must be widely condemned as #TransnationalRepression. Learn More➡️bit.ly/4qWbiEP

Rights advocates and #HumanRights lawyers are too often arbitrarily detained when they should be celebrated for advancing justice and peace in #China and #HongKong. Their ongoing imprisonment betrays the PRC's promises to protect human rights. All should be released. 在 #中国 与 #香港，人权倡导者和 #人权律师 本应为促进正义与和平受到赞扬，但他们却经常遭任意拘留。他们持续受到的监禁显示，中华人民共和国背叛自身保护人权的承诺。所有任意拘留的受害者都应该获释。

#DongYuyu has spent the last 4 years arbitrarily detained for his work as a journalist. #China jails more journalists than any other country, dangerously restricting what the world knows about China and what the Chinese people know about the world. He should be unconditionally released. #PressFreedom #JournalismIsNotACrime More details👉bit.ly/4i8f5fB

#KwokYinSang has been convicted in #HongKong—an outcome that must be condemned for what it is: a blatant attempt to silence and intimidate his daughter, exiled activist @AnnaKwokFY, now living in the US. This is the kind of injustice that led the @CECCgov Chairs to introduce the HK Judicial Sanctions Act, the #TransnationalRepression Policy Act, and the #HKETO Certification Act.

🚨#JimmyLai has been sentenced for 20 years.  @CECCgov Chairs condemn the sentence saying “This is not justice. It is the weaponization of the courts to punish speech.”   Read the full statement➡️bit.ly/4rJ0UBq
