Radio Free Asia reports that yesterday China imposed sanctions on the chair, vice-chair and two commissioners of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. They will be barred from entering China, and any assets they hold in China will be frozen. The move comes in response to recent sanctions imposed on Chinese officials by the U.S. Treasury Department because of human rights abuses against Uyghurs and members of other predominantly Muslim ethnic minority groups in Xinjiang Region. USCIRF issued a press release condemning the Chinese government's action.
