A resolution requesting information on the Republic of Sierra Leone's human rights practices pursuant to section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.

This Senate resolution asks the Secretary of State to send Congress a statement on Sierra Leone's human rights practices within 30 days after the resolution is adopted, under section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. The statement would cover alleged human rights violations by Sierra Leone's government, including the treatment of people who are not citizens of Sierra Leone but were removed there by the United States. It would also describe steps the U.S. took to assess and protect these people, the risk that U.S. security assistance could support their detention, and any agreements, payments, or assurances between the two governments. It also asks for information on all individuals the U.S. sent to Sierra Leone in 2025 and 2026 and a summary of meetings between officials of the two governments in those years.
