Nelson Wells Jr. and Dawn Michelle Hunt Unjustly Detained in Communist China Act

This bill requires the State Department to create a "cases of concern" list for U.S. citizens unjustly detained in China and their family members detained to silence advocacy or censor free speech. It mandates a diplomatic action plan within 60 days, including exploring prisoner transfers under Chinese law (like France uses), reviewing exit bans, and providing family resources. The bill also directs the U.S. to consider holding Chinese officials accountable under Magnitsky sanctions for detaining Americans. It directly affects detained U.S. nationals and their families targeted for advocacy, not the detentions themselves.
