SUBJECT QUOTE
Highlighting the relentless atrocities against Tibetans, Senator Merkley said, 'In the face of China's continued assault on Tibetans, escalating cultural erasure, child separation, surveillance, imprisonment, and torture, America can't stand silent. As the Chinese government continues to ignore the rights of the Tibetan people under international law, we must be clear that these crimes will not be ignored.'
