“[A]ll of you persist in this work despite significant harassment, significant threats. You’ve been interrogated; you’ve been detained; you’ve been prosecuted; you’ve been labeled as enemies of the state… Your homes have been searched and ransacked, your offices shuttered. You and your loved ones have been intimidated, and in some instances attacked. Some of you have seen colleagues killed for their work. All of this I know has been brutal on you and on your families. And yet the other thing that joins you together is you have refused to give up. You kept at it – out of a commitment to justice and to your fellow citizens."
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, December 9, 2022
