Thank you @BOFHcampaign. A powerful message to @POTUS, @vp, and all in our government who have the power to #BringThemHome
The @WhiteHouse says our American hostages are their highest priority. But last month @PressSec didn’t even know our loved ones’ names. So all of our families made this video together w/ @WayneAbbott to remind her & @POTUS. Say their names and #BringThemHome! @nadia_bilbassy

“I'm not aware of any concrete evidence that this will encourage more hostage-taking," said Harrison Li, son of Chinese-American Kai Li, detained by China since 2016. "
Griner's swap reignites the debate if such exchanges encourage more hostage-taking. Families of detained Americans are clear: There is no data or evidence supporting that but USG should work to deter & punish. They also ask: What is the alternative then? reuters.com/world/brittney-g…

As #China ramps up hostage diplomacy against foreigners, the detention of this one American businessman #KaiLi, that has been too little reported, is finally deemed #arbitrary by UN working group #wgad Kai was subjected to #RSDL and sentenced to 10 years at a secret trial.
The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has just released a decision denouncing Kai's detention as arbitrary: ohchr.org/Documents/Issues/D… Kai's detention was found to violate articles 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 (1) and 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. #FreeKaiLi

In the US such conditions have been ruled by a judge as "cruel and unusual punishment" texastribune.org/2019/09/05/… Text "SIGN ZCFOFT" to 50409 to add your name to a congressional letter to Free Kai Li!

In his monthly consular call yesterday, Kai indicated he's "not feeling as strong as he was a few years ago". He remains in a tiny cell with 12 prisoners in 100 degree+ heat (heat index 110-120), obviously with no AC.
