SCOTUS narrows path for Falun Gong case against Cisco over China surveillance
The Supreme Court ruled that Falun Gong members cannot sue Cisco under the Alien Tort Statute or the Torture Victim Protection Act for alleged involvement in China’s abuses, narrowing the avenue for international human rights lawsuits in U.S. courts; the decision was written by Justice Barrett and supported by the conservative majority, with dissenters arguing it undermines decades of precedent and victim redress.
