The Congressional–Executive Commission on China (CECC), a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers, spoke out on June 12 against the imprisonment of Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Agnes Chow.
Chow, 24, was released from prison on June 12 after being imprisoned for more than six months for taking part in an unauthorized protest near Hong Kong’s police headquarters on June 21, 2019. She was convicted along with fellow activists Joshua Wong and Ivan Lam in December last year.
