Washington DC [US] July 22 (ANI): A congressional briefing focused on Captive Nations took place in the Rayburn House Office Building of the US Congress to observe Captive Nations Week 2025, which was established under Public Law 86-90, known as the Captive Nations Resolution, on July 21, 1959. The event brought together representatives from East Turkistan, Tibet, Southern Mongolia, U.S. national security officials, and Congressional staff to discuss the continuous occupation, oppression, and erasure experienced by these nations.

As stated in a release by the East Turkistan Government in Exile (ETGE), the Captive Nations Resolution (Public Law 86-90) recognises nations that have been oppressed by communist imperialism and calls for US assistance in restoring their freedom and sovereignty. It specifically refers to captive nations, such as Turkistan and Tibet, advocating for their liberation and the right to self-determination.
