The conference will highlight the voices of those who have experienced persecution in China, including Uyghur Muslims, Christians, Tibetans, and other religious practitioners. In addition, details on how China surveils its religious citizens and Chinese police tactics will be presented, as well as a call for the U.S. to apply sanctions against individuals involved in China’s mass persecution of Uyghurs.

The coalition, comprised of numerous human rights and religious organizations from a variety of different backgrounds, will exist to protect and improve the human rights and religious freedom of Chinese citizens.
“ChinaAid has proudly steered the establishment of this coalition with the leaders of the International Religious Freedom Roundtable in D.C. and other members of the coalition,” Fu said.
