The report included information on forced organ harvesting, excerpt below:
END FORCED ORGAN HARVESTING
Testimony and evidence provided to Congress include troubling allegations that the PRC engages in systematic and illegal harvesting of organs—in blatant violation of human rights and medical ethics— including by targeting specific ethnic, linguistic, or religious minorities held in detention.Congress should—
• Pass the Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act (H.R. 1503) to expand annual reporting by the State Department on forced organ harvesting globally and to give needed authorities to stop “organ tourism.”
• Ask the State Department to Offer Rewards for credible evidence that will deter and disrupt the market for illegally procured organs and hold accountable those responsible for the practice of forced organ harvesting.The Administration should—
• Deny U.S. Entry Visas for physicians and researchers known to be involved in forced organ harvesting activities and research and announce such decisions publicly.
• Pursue Accountability Actions by sanctioning entities complicit in forced organ harvesting or illegal organ trafficking in the XUAR and add them to the Department of the Treasury’s “Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List,” which would prevent financial transactions with U.S. companies or research institutions.
• Report on Federal Funding provided to PRC entities in volved in unethical organ transplantation practices, including those that violate human subject research protections outlined in the Common Rule and the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) policy on human subject protection and publicly announce the prohibition of such entities from receiving future NIH and National Science Foundation grants.
