U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern made the remarks in an interview with the Uyghur News Network during an event hosted by the New Lines Institute in Washington on January 7, marking the launch of the Institute’s Transnational Repression Working Group. The event brought together U.S. lawmakers, policy experts, human rights advocates, and representatives of affected diaspora communities to highlight the growing use of intimidation, surveillance, and coercion by authoritarian governments against dissidents living abroad, including Uyghurs.
