U.S. House of Representatives Passes Resolution Condemning Chinese Regime's Organ Harvesting Crimes Against Falun Gong
(Minghui.org) The U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed Resolution 343 on the evening of June 13, 2016. The resolution calls on China's communist regime to immediately stop forced organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners and other prisoners of conscience. H.Res. 343 was initiated by representatives Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Middle East and North Africa,and Rep. Gerald Connolly (D-VA), as well as six other members of Congress. Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen said in her floor speech before vote on Monday, “By passing this resolution, we can send a message to the Chinese regime that we condemn this continued practice of persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, and this sickening practice must stop, especially harvesting organs from non-consenting individuals.” Congressman Eliot Engel from New York said in his floor speech that H.Res. 343 is a very important piece of legislation. What’s particularly unsettling is that this practice allegedly targets prisoners of conscience, including practitioners of Falun Gong and other religious and ethnic minorities. Congressman Chris Smith from New Jersey said in his speech that, “This legislation is an important step in bringing accountability and transparency to maybe the great crime of the 21 st century.” “The evidence is quickly mounting of the horrific crimes committed against Falun Gong practitioners, including this terrible practice of organ harvesting,” he said. He continued, “Shockingly, researchers David Kilgour, David Matas and Ethan Gutmann conducted detailed investigations, and estimated that between 45,000 to 65,000 Falun Gong practitioners were killed for their organs which then were sold for profit.”
