Last year the bill was caught in political deadlock and never saw a Senate vote. Free Uyghur Now has worked tirelessly to urge Congress to pass the bill as soon as possible.
"Since last September, we've sent over fifteen thousand emails to Congress urging them to pass this bill swiftly with no change in language. Free Uyghur Now will continue to advocate tirelessly every step of the way to turn this crucial bill into law," said Zaineb Aboudd, Political Co-Director for Free Uyghur Now.
