Dear Secretary Yellen and Secretary Blinken:

We, the 56 undersigned organizations dedicated to human rights in China and to the plight of persecuted ethno-religious groups in the Uyghur Region, urge you to sanction all Chinese officials responsible for the genocide in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), also known as East Turkistan. Such sanctions are required by law under Section 6 Iof the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020 (P.L.116-145).

On May 24, the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation released the Xinjiang Police Files containing thousands of images of Uyghurs detained by XUAR authorities, detailed information about the security and operations of the internment camps, and incriminating speeches of Chinese Communist Party officials. The unprecedented materials were obtained from the largest and most significant leak of internal documents from Xinjiang police networks, consisting of tens of thousands of documents. The files were authenticated and analyzed by Dr. Adrian Zenz and a consortium of major global media outlets including the BBC, USA Today, Der Spiegel, Le Monde, and El Pais.
