Issue Position: Human Rights

Issue Position

As Americans we must protect human rights both at home and abroad--the right to live freely without the threat of violence or repression, the right to live with dignity and respect. Throughout my career in Congress, I have led the fight to end the suffering of people worldwide.

I have called for freedom of religion, speech, and assembly in China and demanded that the Chinese government release all prisoners of conscience. I will continue to support the struggles of the Tibetan people and honor the sacrifice of those who gave their life fighting for freedom. We must be committed to meeting the challenge of human rights in Tibet if we are to work for human rights around the world.
