Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Neve, thank you very much for being here. I think everyone in this room recognizes you as one of the pre-eminent voices for human rights defence in this country. We deeply appreciate that you're sharing your expertise with us at this point.
I want to raise first that I think it's so important that we continually remember that, at the end of the day, when we talk about prisoners, these are family members. These are fathers. These are children. These are individuals. Yesterday I had a heartbreaking meeting with some Turkish individuals who had been arbitrarily detained. I was meeting as well with Enes Kanter Freedom, who has been an incredible ally for these people.
I know that you have told me about Dong Guangping. I want you to speak a bit about what this legislation will mean and if we can improve it to the point that this will actually help those human rights defenders and those who have been arbitrarily detained.
