A resolution demanding that the Government of the People's Republic of China and the Communist Party of China immediately release Mark Swidan.

S. RES. 23 is a symbolic Senate resolution demanding the immediate release of Mark Swidan, a U.S. citizen from Texas detained in China since 2012. The resolution cites U.S. and UN findings that his detention is arbitrary, noting no evidence was found linking him to drug charges, his passport records contradict the alleged timeline, and China denied his family contact and consular access. It calls on the U.S. government to prioritize securing his release and highlights China's violation of international norms regarding his treatment. This resolution does not create new legal obligations but expresses the Senate's position on the case.
