Dr. Gulshan Abbas, a retired Uyghur doctor, has been wrongfully detained by the genocidal Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for six years. Her imprisonment is seen as retaliation for her sister’s advocacy for human rights. Today marks her 62nd birthday, and U.S. lawmakers, including Rep. Ro Khanna, Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, Rep. Kevin Hern, and Rep. Jennifer Wexton, are calling for her immediate release. They emphasize that Dr. Abbas has committed no crimes and highlight the CCP's ongoing transnational repression. Rep. Hern stands with her daughters and family in demanding an update on her condition. Calls for her release have also been directed at the Biden administration, urging it to prioritize her case in diplomatic discussions with Xi Jinping.
