House Republicans Invite Enes Kanter Freedom to Capitol to Address Chinese Human-Rights Abuses

Representative Jim Banks (R., Ind.) will host basketball player Enes Kanter Freedom at the Republican Study Committee lunch this Wednesday, Politico Playbook reported on Monday.

Kanter Freedom will reportedly push for new legislation from Banks dealing with Uyghur labor in the Xinjiang region of China. Both the Biden and Trump administrations have labeled China’s treatment of Uyghur citizens a “genocide,” with reports of detention camps and potential forced labor emerging from the region.
