"If Secretary Kerry fails to speak up in a meaningful manner, he will lose all his moral credibility to speak about human rights in any other countries."

"We believe these hearings will have enormous impact in affecting U.S. foreign policy and also send a strong message to countries around the world that U.S. values human rights."

"Human rights, by the end of the day, it is about the people's rights."

"He should make sure that he sets the right tone about human rights while he is there."
