On May 27, Congressman Joe Wilson, Senior Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released the following statement followed by the passage of the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act:

"I am grateful to have voted in favor of the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act. I fully support sanctions on Chinese officials for their mistreatment of Muslim minorities and believe that the people of China and its society would benefit if all religions could practice their faiths in freedom. China must be held accountable for these human rights violations, this mistreatment cannot be withstood."
