Cruz introduces FOH legislation – The Falun Gong Protection Act’ – in the U.S. Senate

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has introduced the Falun Gong Protection Act in the U.S. Senate, condemning forced organ harvesting by the CCP. The bicameral bill imposes sanctions on anyone the U.S. president deems as a knowing participant or facilitator of China’s forced organ harvesting targeting Falun Gong practitioners.

Excerpt of the press release below:

This bill would require sanctions on those responsible for or complicit in the involuntary harvesting of organs and also require the Secretary of State to report to Congress on organ transplant policies and practices of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The CCP continues to engage in these atrocities, including against Falun Gong practitioners.

Upon introduction, Sen. Cruz said, “China’s persecution of Falun Gong practitioners is an attack on religious freedom and human rights. It’s long past time to dismantle the CCP’s state-sponsored organ harvesting industry. I urge my colleagues to join me in countering these human rights violations and ensuring the CCP is held accountable.”

Rep. Perry said, “The United States, as the beacon of freedom around the world, cannot be silent when the Chinese Community Party is engaged in systemic torturing, incarceration, and forced organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners. The CCP and its enablers must be held accountable for these atrocities.”

The legislation was co-sponsored by Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.)
