Upcoming Event: Press Conference to Highlight Victims of Violence and Harassment at the APEC Summit
Next Tuesday, December 12, at 10:00am, the Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC) will hold a press conference with human rights advocates, including Human Rights in China (HRIC)’s Executive Director Zhou Fengsuo, to discuss transnational repression against human rights defenders—in particular, the violence from pro-CCP groups against protestors in San Francisco during the APEC summit several weeks ago. HRIC is deeply appreciative of the Commission’s efforts to support the activist community and ensure that these cases are properly investigated by the San Francisco Police Department. We strongly encourage members of the media and other interested parties to attend the press conference in person or watch the livestream on the CECC Youtube channel.
The CECC has provided the following details regarding the press conference:
When: December 12, 2023, 10:00am EST
Where: 2247 Rayburn House Office Building, 45 Independence Ave SW, Washington, DC 20515
