Thank you, Chair.

I want to say thank you to the witness for sharing his expertise with us.

I want to go back to Mr. Cotler's line of questioning in regard to whether or not there was any condemnation from the administration. I think your phrase was “quite the opposite”.

I don't know if condemning an outside report is the opposite, but have there actually been statements by this administration publicly in regard to human rights defenders or journalists or even some of the communities at higher risk—the LGBTQ communities—in regard to any kind of loose support for this impunity, these killings?
