Marking the eighth anniversary of the unjust imprisonment of Dr. Gulshan Abbas by the Government of the People's Republic of China, condemning the use of transnational repression to retaliate against the exercise of free speech in the United States, and calling for her immediate and unconditional release.

This House resolution marks eight years since Dr. Gulshan Abbas, a retired Uyghur doctor whose sister is a U.S. citizen, was detained by the Chinese government in September 2018. It calls on China to release her and let her reunite with her family, and condemns punishing family members abroad for speech made in the United States. It asks the President, the Secretary of State, and other officials to raise her case with Chinese officials and use diplomatic tools to seek her release. It also calls for identifying and, where appropriate, sanctioning Chinese officials responsible for her detention and for transnational repression. The resolution states positions and requests but does not create new laws.
