Organ Harvesting in China

Rep. Chris Smith, who co-led the Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act, appealed to Rubio for help in passing the bill in the Senate.

‘China’s persecution of Falun Gong practitioners is an attack on religious freedom and human rights,’ Sen. Ted Cruz said.

Arizona joins four other states that have enacted laws to address the Chinese regime’s organ harvesting abuse.

‘We need a penalty that’s commensurate with the crime, and the crime is outrageous,’ lead sponsor Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) said.

‘Sanctioning perpetrators of forced organ harvesting is a moral imperative,’ a co-sponsor of the bill said.

Medical experts are calling for transparency into the Chinese regime’s organ transplant system.

From Jan. 1, 2026, a health insurer will not be able to fund organ transplant surgery if the operation takes place in China or the organ is from China.

Katerina Angelakopoulou was awarded for her work to expose the persecution against Falun Gong, a religious community she belongs to.

The bill, now going to the governor’s desk, aims to ban health insurance coverage for transplant operations and care linked to China.

‘The Chinese Communist Party has a long track record of human rights violations stemming from illegal organ harvesting,' Rep. Neal Dunn says.

Two Falun Gong practitioners spoke at the U.N. body’s meetings, raising awareness of the plight of their faith group under the CCP’s relentless persecution.

Falun Gong practitioners are among those targeted by Chinese regime authorities for forced organ harvesting.

‘It’s long past time to dismantle the CCP’s state-sponsored organ harvesting industry,’ Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) told The Epoch Times.

‘We were really sending a message to say, Arizona’s not going to take part in this in any way, shape, or form,’ state Rep. Leo Biasiucci said.

‘It’s frightening this is being allowed in the world. Hopefully more Americans and more Western societies understand what’s going on,’ said one audience member.

A string of mass attacks that occurred across China recently has raised concerns about how people deal with the frustration under the tight control of the CCP.

‘Every single advertisement is evidence! Every phone call is evidence: organs are being openly bought and sold!’ Du Wen said.

‘Prohibiting [South] Korean complicity is entirely within the control of Korea,’ said the renowned international human rights lawyer.

A panelist says evidence shows that the killing of Falun Gong practitioners by forced organ harvesting has continued ‘unabated for the past 25 years.’

The Chinese Communist Party has launched disinformation campaigns aimed at pitting the U.S. government against the Falun Gong spiritual group.
