We are a coalition of professionals dedicated to ending forced organ harvesting in China. We tweet breaking news on a range of human rights abuses in China.
‼️If you're in Washington, DC, please attend this crucial event TOMORROW to learn the truth about China's industrial-scale forced organ harvesting of Uyghurs and ongoing genocide in East Turkistan.
The @VoCommunism event highlights the critical new book by author @Eastofethan.
“If there’s one thing we can all agree on in America, it is this: the United States should not fund, enable, or participate in any system that rips organs from unwilling donors and treats human lives as disposable commodities.”
“What I am about to describe is not the black-market organ trade run by cartels we most typically hear about. This is something far more systematic, and far more industrialized. It is state-sponsored killing of innocents, on demand, to supply a multi-billion-dollar transplant industry.” Excerpt from testimony by Jan Jekielek, Senior Editor, The Epoch Times; Host of “American Thought Leaders”; New York Times best-selling author of Killed to Order
On March 14 the CECC held a hearing on “What the United States and its allies can do to address this heinous global crime and examine additional steps that can be taken to hold both PRC officials and organ traffickers accountable for their roles in perpetuating it.”
Testimonies were also given by
Ethan Gutmann, Senior Research Fellow in China Studies, the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation; author of The Xinjiang Procedure and The Slaughter
Ambassador Sam Brownback, Senior Fellow, Pepperdine University; former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom; former U.S. Senator and Governor of Kansas; author of China’s War on Faith
Kalbinur Sidik, Survivor of China’s genocide and eyewitness to forced labor camps and author of forthcoming book Heart Full of Light: Love, Loss, and Survival Inside China's Gulags
‼️Watch live now: Congressional hearing on CCP forced organ harvesting, May 14, starting at 10AM EST:
A Market Built on Victims: Stopping Illegal Organ Trafficking in China and Beyond
“The systematic, widespread, and nonconsensual removal of human organs for transplantation—often described as forced organ harvesting or illegal organ trafficking-remains one of the gravest human rights concerns associated with the People's Republic of China. Reports by researchers, human rights advocates, and medical ethics experts have raised serious concerns that prisoners of conscience, including Falun Gong practitioners, Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims, and other political and religious prisoners, have been targeted within a state-enabled transplant system.
Three new books have been published recently that provide fresh perspectives on this issue, drawing renewed attention to evidence of forced organ harvesting in China, the relationship between religious persecution and transplant abuse, and how international medical, academic, commercial, and government actors have failed to confront or prevent these atrocities. This hearing will further explore what the United States and its allies can do to address this heinous global crime and examine additional steps that can be taken to hold both PRC officials and organ traffickers accountable for their roles in perpetuating it.”
The hearing is in room 2247 of the Rayburn House Office Building.

Dear Senators,
The undersigned civil society groups and human rights organizations urge you to act on S4009 the Falun Gong and Victims of Forced Organ Harvesting Protection Act, a bipartisan bill recently introduced by Senator Cruz and Senator Merkley members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
This bill is a critical piece of legislation that imposes sanctions on those responsible for organ harvesting in China and directs the Secretary of State to report to Congress on the Chinese Communist Party’s organ harvesting policies and transplant system.
It specifically addresses crimes committed against all victims of forced organ harvesting in China including Falun Gong practitioners, Uyghurs and others.

@SenatorRisch More good things happening in Idaho. Just over a year ago a Bill was passed Targeting Insurance Coverage of Organ Transplants from China.
https://t.co/S3IzY8nGf4
📢 Joint letter: Human rights groups, including @FortifyRights, urge the U.S. Senate to support the bipartisan Falun Gong and Victims of Forced Organ Harvesting Protection Act.
The bill would impose sanctions on those responsible for organ harvesting in China and require reporting on the Chinese Communist Party’s transplant system.

DAFOH will release its first, in-depth documentary on the topic of forced organ harvesting on May 16. Stay tuned.

It is almost a year since the Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act (H.R. 1503) passed the U.S. Congress 406-1, showing significant bipartisan support. However it has stalled in the Senate. Congressman Chris Smith, who introduced the bill, says nobody is really against this passing but are in danger of becoming “unwitting enablers by not doing anything”.
He restated that those who are “knowingly complicit” in China’s forced organ harvesting system could serve up to 20 years in prison with H.R. 1503 enacted. Those found guilty of violating the bill may also have to pay penalties of up to one million U.S. dollars.
“For the Chinese Officials we can’t reach–you come, you won’t get a visa [here]. We take the Magnitsky-type sanctions, and apply it here–and you can’t do business here. So we isolate them as well." Rep. Smith said at an event held by the Hudson institute earlier this month. Author and former noble peace prize nominee, Ethan Gutmann previously spoke about his new book ‘The Xinjiang Procedure’.

An estimated 25,000 to 50,000 prisoners a year in Xinjiang camps are being selected for forced organ harvesting according to human rights investigator Ethan Gutmann. He says Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and others of Turkish ethnicity are being targeted for organ transplants from over a million detainees in the north-western region.
Talking about his new book ‘The Xinjiang Procedure’ at an event held by the Hudson institute, Gutmann calculates around 200,000 people ”at a minimum” have died from forced organ harvesting in the region since 2017.
Gutmann has provided testimony and briefings for the US Congress, CIA, FBI, UN, EU, and parliaments in Prague, Stockholm, Ottawa, Canberra, Paris, Dublin, Jerusalem, Berlin, Tokyo, and Westminster.
Doctors, EU Lawmakers Sound Alarm on China’s Forced Organ Harvesting. Members of the European Parliament listened to medical experts. Why does the transplant community fail to look at available data from China? At least the MEPs listened.

@rhpeer@NOTelonmusksX@CharaxS@MarkJCarney@grok China's forced organ harvesting system operates at an industrial level generating billions of dollars. Any country or business trading with China should consider information like this.
In his new book ‘The Xinjiang Procedure’, author and former noble peace prize nominee, Ethan Guttman continues the journey of exposing China’s forced organ harvesting industry with evidence gathered from Xinjiang concentration camps.
What is The Xinjiang Procedure? Xinjiang refers to the northwest of China where the Uyghur people, Muslims with Turkic roots, have lived for thousands of years. The procedure refers to Chinese transplant surgeons surgically extracting Uyghur organs while their hearts are still beating, average age, 28 years old.
Talking at an event held by the Hudson institute, Gutmann summarises chapter two of his book that revisits the story of former Taiwanese presidential candidate Ko Wen, who was recently sentenced to 17 years in prison for corruption.
He claims the former Taipei mayor, Ko sold equipment from America to facilitate forced organ harvesting in China, and taught live organ transplant techniques to Chinese surgeons.
