Expressing condemnation of the Chinese Communist Party's persecution of religious minority groups, including Christians, Muslims, and Buddhists and the detention of Pastor "Ezra" Jin Mingri and leaders of the Zion Church, and reaffirming the United States' global commitment to promote religious freedom and tolerance.

HRES 861 is a symbolic resolution passed by the U.S. House of Representatives condemning the Chinese Communist Party's persecution of religious minorities. It specifically addresses the detention of Pastor Ezra Jin Mingri and other leaders of Beijing Zion Church, alongside broader crackdowns on Christians, Muslims, and Buddhists in China. The resolution demands China release all wrongfully detained religious leaders and respect international human rights standards for religious freedom. As a non-binding statement, it reaffirms U.S. policy under the International Religious Freedom Act but does not create new legal requirements or funding.
