Rubio Applauds POTUS Signing Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act Into Law
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) applauded President Trump for signing the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020 (S.3744) into law. Rubio first introduced the bill in 2018 with Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and a bipartisan group of Senators. S.3744 is the first piece of legislation regarding Uyghurs in the world to be signed into law. The Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020 is an important step in countering the totalitarian Chinese government’s widespread and horrific human rights abuses in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), including the mass internment of over one million Uyghurs and other predominantly ethnic Turkic Muslims, as well as Beijing’s intimidation and threats against U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents on American soil.
“By signing the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020 into law, President Trump took a historic step in support of Uyghur Muslims worldwide and against China’s egregious human rights abuses and probable crimes against humanity,” Rubio said. “As the Chinese government and Communist Party continues its mass internment of at least a million Uyghurs and other Muslim ethnic minorities, the United States will hold the CCP and its enablers accountable for their heinous crimes.”
Rubio is Cochair of the bipartisan and bicameral Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC), the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations’ Subcommittee that oversees human rights, and is a member of the Subcommittee on East Asia, the Pacific, and International Cybersecurity Policy.
