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

This resolution demands that the Chinese government and the Communist Party of China (CPC) immediately release Mark Swidan. The resolution also condemns the Chinese government and the CPC for denying Swidan access to U.S. diplomats and independent and competent medical care.

Swidan is a U.S. citizen who was convicted of drug-related charges in China and sentenced to death. A U.N. working group on arbitrary detention considers Swidan's detention arbitrary and in violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Bill 118 SRES 23 is a resolution introduced in the US Congress that calls for the immediate release of Mark Swidan by the Government of the People's Republic of China and the Communist Party of China. Mark Swidan is an American citizen who has been detained by Chinese authorities for unknown reasons.

The resolution demands that the Chinese government provide information on Swidan's whereabouts and well-being, and allow him access to legal representation and consular services. It also calls for Swidan to be released without delay unless he is charged with a recognizable criminal offense and given a fair trial.

The resolution highlights the importance of protecting the rights of American citizens abroad and emphasizes the need for transparency and accountability in China's legal system. It urges the US government to take all necessary steps to secure Swidan's release and ensure his safe return to the United States. Overall, Bill 118 SRES 23 is a bipartisan effort to advocate for the release of an American citizen who is being unjustly detained in China, and to uphold the principles of human rights and due process.
