The panelists included Chen Zhiyu from the Taiwan Association for International Care of Organ Transplants, TAICOT; Jessica Russo with Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting, DAFOH; William Huang, who was imprisoned in China for five years for practicing Falun Gong; and another Falun Gong practitioner Alex Luchansky. Russo talked about the history and current status of the CCP-sanctioned forced organ harvesting that targets Falun Gong practitioners. When the regime started to suppress Falun Gong in July 1999, there were about 100 million practitioners. They were discriminated against and mistreated. Many were detained, imprisoned, and tortured, and some became victims of organ harvesting. Several countries have passed laws to ban transplant tourism to China, including Israel, Spain, Italy, Taiwan, Norway, Belgium, and Canada. The U.S. House of Representatives also passed H.R. 1154, the “Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act of 2023,” on March 27, 2023.
