Falun Gong Protection Act

Bill 119 HR 1540, also known as the "Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act," aims to address the issue of forced organ harvesting within the People's Republic of China. The bill proposes the imposition of sanctions on individuals and entities involved in this heinous practice.

Forced organ harvesting is a serious human rights violation where individuals are coerced or forcibly have their organs removed for transplantation without their consent. This practice is particularly prevalent in China, where there have been numerous reports of prisoners of conscience, including Falun Gong practitioners, being targeted for organ harvesting.

The bill seeks to hold accountable those responsible for these atrocities by imposing sanctions such as asset freezes and travel bans. It also calls for the identification of individuals involved in forced organ harvesting and the establishment of a list of sanctioned individuals. In addition to addressing forced organ harvesting, the bill also aims to raise awareness about this issue and encourage other countries to take action to end this practice. By shining a light on this human rights abuse, the bill seeks to put pressure on the Chinese government to stop the forced organ harvesting of its citizens. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1540 is a crucial step towards addressing the issue of forced organ harvesting in China and holding those responsible accountable for their actions. It is an important piece of legislation that aims to protect the rights and dignity of individuals who are being targeted for their organs.
