FREEDOM for Gao Zhisheng and All Political Prisoners Act

This bill directs the U.S. government to use diplomatic tools to seek the release of political prisoners in China, including specific cases like human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng. It requires the State Department to develop a strategy for embedding political prisoner advocacy across U.S. diplomatic efforts, including bilateral and multilateral engagement. The bill establishes a "Global Political Prisoner Registry" to document cases worldwide and authorizes issue briefs for Congress on these cases. It mandates holding Chinese officials accountable through sanctions for arbitrary detention and torture of political prisoners, without directly affecting Chinese citizens or officials.
