Pursuing Visa Restrictions to Address Repression of Religious and Ethnic Groups in the People’s Republic of China
The United States continues to promote accountability in defense of human rights in China. Today, the State Department is taking steps to impose visa restrictions on People’s Republic of China (PRC) officials for their involvement in repression of marginalized religious and ethnic communities.
The PRC has not lived up to its commitments to respect and protect human rights, as demonstrated by the ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang, the erosion of fundamental freedoms in Hong Kong, persistent human rights abuses in Tibet, and transnational repression around the world. We call on the PRC to abide by the principles enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and to accept the many recommendations made this year during the Universal Periodic Review of its human rights record, including unconditionally releasing PRC nationals it has arbitrarily and unjustly detained.
