“This religious persecution act is an important first step toward protecting the freedom of all to worship as they choose. For too long, America has turned its eyes away from those who are suffering religious persecution across the globe. And for too long, America has kept silent when we should have said more. We should have said more about Tibet where so many have been crushed under the oppressive hand of Chinese occupation. Where over 1 million citizens have been driven from their land, while their culture and monasteries have been destroyed. In Sudan, over 2 million Christians may have been killed for simply pursuing the worship of God. Sudanese children have been beaten, tortured and even crucified for being Christians. And as the Baltimore Sun reported last year, children in Sudan are being sold into slavery for less than $50.”
