Senate Bill Co-Authored by Ted Cruz Seeks Stiff Punishment for Organ Harvesting
Falun Gong constitutes a segment of China’s population that has been unspeakably persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). One such practice is live organ harvesting and trafficking. This practice is incredibly evil. It consists of removing the organs of healthy individuals and selling those organs on the black market. The patient invariably dies a horrendous death.
Practitioners of Falun Gong are targeted for this evil procedure primarily for two reasons. First, they live healthy lifestyles, which makes their organs more valuable. Second, the CCP has contempt for Falun Gong and by going after these people specifically, they not only eliminate them systematically, but they also instill fear in others who would consider joining Falun Gong.
Falun Gong has very limited representation. Now, thanks to U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), a huge spotlight is being shone on this inhumane CCP practice.
The reintroduction of the Falun Gong Protection Act marks a critical moment in the fight against one of the most egregious human rights violations of our time—the forced organ harvesting of prisoners of conscience in China. This barbaric practice, targeting Falun Gong practitioners and other persecuted groups, has been extensively documented by independent human rights organizations, medical professionals, and legislative bodies worldwide.
We are available for interviews, commentary, and further discussion on this urgent topic. Together, we can ensure that the victims of this brutal practice are not forgotten, and that justice prevails.
