Support the US Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Bill of 2021 (bipartisan) In 2019 the China Tribunal, an independent international people’s tribunal chaired by Sir Geoffrey Nice QC, lead prosecutor of Slobodan Milošević at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), assessed all available evidence regarding forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience in China. The Tribunal held public hearings where over 50 witnesses testified. Huge volumes of written evidence were analysed, including research showing the deliberate falsification of China’s public organ donation data that helped the CCP to cover-up the killing of innocent people, primarily peaceful Falun Gong practitioners, to support a lucrative trade in human organs. |

- “The report presents new evidence from China's own academic literature demonstrating that Chinese healthcare professionals extracted organs from prisoners while they were still alive. Together, the authors examined over 120,000 Chinese-language medical publications and uncovered evidence that medical professionals in the PRC removed organs from living humans for the purposes of transplants, killing them in the process. Many of the condemned are political prisoners and prisoners of conscience, as has been well documented in numerous sources, including the authoritative China Tribunal judgement.” [from a Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation mailing]

Take the pledge: “On the grounds of conscience and basic humanity, I solemnly pledge that I will never receive an organ transplant from China.”
- Special pledge for medical practitioners and scientists:
Declaration of Non-Collaboration with Doctors and Scientists in China - we will no longer collaborate with doctors and scientists in China. We will not engage in collaborative projects with them, we will not submit applications for funding jointly with them, we will not attend conferences in China and we will not support the publication of research carried out in China by providing peer review for submitted manuscripts.

https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1193505.shtml
- This is new. It’s the first time China has tried to discredit the researchers, activists, and others who dare to question China about forced organ harvesting. There is one way to settle the questions now being echoed around the world (as we see from the stories above this week): allow an independent investigation into the matter. Give independent investigators the power to demand any documents and call snap inspections anywhere in China. This, China won’t do, not when $10-20 billion in annual revenue is at stake. But until China allows an independent inquiry, it cannot reasonably expect the world to stop asking questions given that the evidence gathered so far is voluminous and varied (eyewitness testimony, undercover calls to hospitals, undercover footage from hospitals, unbelievably short wait times for organs, etc.). But it wouldn’t matter how much evidence was gathered. You could even have drone footage pointing to organ harvesting in Chinese hospitals - which South Korean television collected in 2018 - and China would still deny it is engaged in forced organ harvesting. How do we know? As we learned this week, this is a country that has no problem denying that Uighurs are being loaded into boxcars despite drone video footage incontrovertibly establishing that fact. Sorry, China, denying the evidence and deflecting all questions by impugning the motives of the questioners as ‘anti-China’ just doesn’t cut it. Your frolic and detour to discredit the researchers and activists has failed and we will not take our eye off the ball. Oh, and by the way, here’s our next question: if the unusual medical tests for Falun Gong and Xinjiang residents which are consistent with organ harvesting are so beneficial for the early detection of disease, then why aren’t they administered to everyone in China, hmm?

ICYMI - 2016 House hearings show a WHO totally taken in by China’s token official organ donation system

Chinese state media tries to quell criticism of COVID double-lung transplants which bear all the hallmarks of forced organ harvesting, i.e., involuntary extraction from live donors killed in the process
https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1189099.shtml
- To understand what a masterful piece of propaganda this is, you must first understand that China has been on a charm offensive for several years to convince the world that its transplant activity all derives from voluntary donation and is on the up and up. China now routinely deflects all questions by pointing to its relatively new official transplant donation system which is resulting in some transplants but cannot possibly have already reached the scale sufficient to account for all transplant activity in China. Moreover, an independent international tribunal - after reviewing mountains of evidence - found in 2019 that China is a “criminal state” still engaged in killing prisoners of conscience for their organs.
- China is not credible. China routinely dishes out self-serving garbage, as the whole world is currently witnessing with China’s ludicrously low official COVID infection and fatality numbers, even though news of fresh outbreaks continues to pour out of China almost daily. Also, as every investor knows, China cooks the books of its companies listed on American stock exchanges. Why wouldn’t China be cooking the books on transplant activity, as well?
- The explanation offered in the article for the short wait time to find lung donors is most likely untrue, as is shown by information provided in the article itself. The article says it can take many months or even a year to find lung donors in other countries, but “It takes only around three months for a patient to receive a lung transplant operation in China....” What accounts for the short wait time in China? The article asserts:
China only uses about 5-6 percent of donated lungs each year while some Western countries may use 25-30 percent. “We have enough donated lungs, but we have a small number of patients in need of them. This is the main reason why patients did not need a long time to get lungs,” Chen said.
However, the explanation is deficient in at least two respects. First, the article says Chen performed four double-lung transplants on COVID patients, meaning there had to be four donors, not just one. This makes it even less likely the organs were all sourced from China’s fledgling official voluntary donation system. It does not seem plausible that four patients were identified and matching donors were found for each in three short months from the limited official system. Second, the article never actually pinpoints the source of the ‘donated lungs’ for the four recipients mentioned. There’s a lot of talk in the article about China’s official voluntary system, but Chen never specifically says the donations in question were voluntary and he never specifically denies that the lungs were involuntarily extracted from prisoners of conscience who were killed in the process. The article is phrased to make it sound like the lungs came from China’s official organ donation system, but a close reading of the article reveals that Dr. Chen doesn’t actually say that.
- The article seeks to dispel 'rumors' that China is collecting organs in inhumane ways. However, even if the lungs in these four particular cases were sourced ethically from China’s official system, that does not prove that China is not also running a preexisting parallel transplantation system based on killing prisoners of conscience for their organs. Credible researchers and now an international tribunal have been accusing China of doing exactly that for many years. China now deflects all questions by pointing to its official donation system which is resulting in some transplants, but the accumulated weight of the evidence shows that the main transplant activity in China is still being conducted off the books.
- China’s explanation that its official organ donation system accounts for all transplant activity is very dubious, for at least three reasons. First, a researcher has found strong indications that China has been faking its data for the program. Second, China claims that it no longer sources organs from death penalty cases, which means the supply of organs has gone down at the same time the number of transplants has gone up. Third, numerous undercover calls to Chinese transplant hospitals offered assurances of short wait times and that organs would come from Falun Gong practitioners. This last point is a strong indication that prisoners of conscience are being killed for their organs on demand. This just scratches the surface of the evidence refuting China’s boasts about its official system. There is much more in a recent report.
- For all these reasons, the explanation on offer is unsatisfactory. Until China opens its books for an independent international investigation - as many have long been demanding - the world cannot reasonably take China’s assertions at face value. The solution is very simple: Don't tell us, show us. All records should be available for inspection without notice. But they are not. We don’t need a charm offensive; we need proof positive China is not a gangster state killing people for their organs, as the independent international tribunal found just a few short months ago.

Movie Exposes Rampant Organ Harvesting in Communist China
“We removed the heart first, then the kidneys…” So opens the trailer to Human Harvest which is now out and available for rental or purchase at HumanHarvestMovie.com (watch the trailer below).
Where does China find its ‘donors’? From among its laogai political prisoners, for openers. This is what the hard Left does: Don’t just defeat or kill your political enemies; sell their body parts for fun and profit. Human Harvest takes its place alongside China’s state-sanctioned cannibalism and shameful ‘Bodies’ exhibit as proof of the communist regime’s monstrous disregard for human life. And this is the next superpower we want running the world? If the hard Left feels no compunction harvesting organs from people who, in some cases, are still alive, what regard does it have for you? If you still think the Left is about ‘social justice’, you’re a buffoon not to be taken seriously. In the words of Mao:"I do not agree with the view that to be moral, the motive of one's actions has to be benefiting others. … People like me want to … satisfy our hearts to the full, and in doing so we automatically have the most valuable moral codes. Of course there are people and objects in the world, but they are all there only for me. … People like me only have a duty to ourselves; we have no duty to other people." |
