Former NBA player EnesFreedom huddled with members of the Republican Study Committee to discuss China’s humanitarian abuses against Uyghur Muslims and the influence the country has on key industries in the U.S.
The former NBA center, who is Muslim, came to Washington to support policy changes he believes are needed to crack down on human rights violations abroad, discussing what actions can be taken to help stop the Chinese Communist Party’s abuse of ethnic and religious minorities.The leaders of the CCP have been accused of imprisoning up to 3 million Uyghurs in “internment camps, with reports emerging of forced sterilizations, abortions, and genocide being carried out.
After fielding questions from the group of conservatives, Kanter Freedom told the Washington Examiner he believes more needs to be done from a legislative standpoint to limit China’s influence in an array of areas. “We need some solid actions like bills, but that's what I was really excited about when Congressman Banks told me about his two new bills that are coming out,” he said.
