One major question party–state President Xi Jinping avoided during his visit last week to the White House was whether he will stop organ pillaging/trafficking from Falun Gong, House Christian, Tibetan, and Uyghur prisoners of conscience across China.
The other visitor to Washington, the much-loved Pope Francis, after meeting the Mayor of Rome, Ignazio Marino, and other transplant surgeons a year ago authorized the delegation to say publicly that “the trade in organs is immoral and a crime against humanity.”
Dr. Torsten Trey of the international NGO, Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting (DAFOH), stresses that a Beijing promise in late 2014 to cease harvesting from executed prisoners did not include prisoners of conscience. This group, rarely convicted of any offense and sent to forced labor camps for up to three years only on a police signature, no doubt today comprises more than half of the victims. No Party official has ever admitted to seizing organs from such prisoners.
