Tell me this on human rights defenders, because I'm looking at the GAC line on this about who they are. It's saying that a human rights defender is:
...someone who, individually or with others, acts to promote and protect human rights.
Human rights defenders document and call attention to violations and abuses by any actor, including:
governments
businesses
non-state actors...
That's what you're defining it as, but what do you do with people who get arrested, detained and, often, sterilized, such as the Uyghurs, the Falun Dafa and the Tibetan monks?
They're all being ostracized, prosecuted and executed based upon religion. It's not that they're out there fighting for freedom. They don't fall under our definition of “human rights defenders”.
