A lawsuit accused a U.S.-based company of facilitating Chinese authorities’ actions against a spiritual group. Plaintiffs argued the firm provided tools that enabled persecution. The case was
brought before the U.S. Supreme Court for a final ruling. The justices voted to reject the suit, preventing it from moving forward. The decision leaves the alleged corporate involvement unexamined

accountable for actions abroad. Future litigation may still pursue the issue in lower courts or through other legal avenues.
