Uyghur Genocide Accountability and Sanctions Act of 2025
The Uyghur Genocide Accountability and Sanctions Act of 2025 expands U.S. sanctions against Chinese entities and individuals involved in human rights abuses against Uyghurs and other ethnic groups in Xinjiang, including forced labor, forced sterilization, and forced separation of children. It requires the U.S. government to deny entry to those complicit in forced abortions or sterilizations, provides physical and psychological support for victims outside China, and mandates documentation of atrocities through evidence collection and witness protection. The bill prohibits U.S. government contracts with entities linked to forced labor, requires a strategy to counter Chinese propaganda denying these abuses, and compiles information on detained family members of U.S. citizens in Xinjiang. Additionally, it includes seafood procurement restrictions to avoid products potentially made with forced labor.
