The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), an independent, bipartisan federal commission, has added detained Hong Kong activist and media tycoon Jimmy Lai to its Religious Prisoners of Conscience Project.
The USCIRF project is a campaign intended to draw attention to individuals who are imprisoned, detained, under house arrest, or have disappeared because of exercising their freedom of religion or belief. Each of the USCIRF commissioners can “adopt” individuals to consistently advocate for their release.
