Bill overview
This bill, the Sanctioning Supporters of Slave Labor Act, aims to strengthen U.S. sanctions against those who support human rights abuses occurring in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China. It expands the existing Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act by requiring the U.S. government to identify and sanction foreign individuals and entities that provide material support or engage in significant transactions related to these abuses. The goal is to hold accountable those contributing to the exploitation and repression of the Uyghur population and other affected groups. This legislation builds upon previous efforts to address human rights concerns in the region.
