In 2014, we supported a resolution that this committee passed--Jim McGovern's House Resolution 418, which called for an end to persecution.

This important bill would extend this longstanding bipartisan lifesaving program for another 5 years.

I would like to tighten the sanctions on those military leaders because I see that as the problem.
