Congressman Chris Smith (R, NJ-04) addressed the International Religious Freedom Summit at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, and the veteran federal legislator demanded that China be held accountable for its egregious human rights abuses and acts of genocide against religious minority groups. “Yesterday I chaired another congressional hearing, and one witness Gulzira Auyelkhan, a Kazakh Muslim woman who spent over a year in the concentration camps gave compelling eyewitness testimony on the use of “tiger chairs”—horrific instruments of torture—against Uyghur and Kazakh detainees, as well as the systematic rape of Uyghur women by Chinese authorities,” said Smith who has already been banned by Beijing from entering the country for his vocal anti-CCP activism.
