Dr. Simon Adams, president and CEO, is quoted in this column by John Rash titled “Trump Administration Report Whitewashes Human Rights Abuses.” Simon comments on the annual State Department country reports published Tuesday after significant revision by the Trump administration which omits references to human rights abuses and violations against specific populations. Simon comments that repressive regimes make “a consistent attempt to say that you do not matter, the world does not care what happens to you, and that there will be nothing but a profound silence that surrounds your suffering.” Rash also quotes Eric Schwartz with the Humphrey School, who has been a longtime advisor to CVT.
