Designating "Jimmy Lai Way" in D.C. and Condemning Hong Kong Persecution
This legislation serves two main purposes: designating the area between the intersections of 18th Street Northwest and Church Street Northwest, and 18th Street Northwest and P Street Northwest in Washington D.C. as "Jimmy Lai Way," and formally condemning the imprisonment of Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong by Congress. The designation involves redesignating the specific address of 1520 18th Street Northwest to 1 Jimmy Lai Way Northwest and installing new street signs.
Key points
The area between specific intersections of 18th Street NW in Washington D.C. is designated "Jimmy Lai Way," and the address 1520 18th Street NW is redesignated as 1 Jimmy Lai Way Northwest.
Congress officially condemns the unjust imprisonment of Jimmy Lai and calls for his immediate and unconditional release by Hong Kong authorities.
The act urges the State Department to advocate for Lai's release and suggests that mail addressed to the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office at the new address be delivered to alternative locations.
