Commends all peaceful advocates for democracy and human rights in China. Condemns the ongoing human rights abuses by China. Calls on China to: (1) release all prisoners of conscience, including persons still in prison for their participation in the 1989 pro-democracy gatherings; (2) allow those people exiled for their activities to return to live in freedom in China; and (3) cease the harassment, detention, and imprisonment of Chinese citizens exercising their freedoms of expression, association, and religion.
