The organs of members of marginalized groups detained in Chinese prison camps are being forcefully harvested — sometimes when patients are still alive, an international tribunal sitting in London has concluded. In a statement released alongside the final judgment, the tribunal said many of those affected were practitioners of Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline that China banned in the 1990s and has called an “evil cult.” The tribunal added that it was possible that Uighur Muslims — an ethnic minority who are currently being detained in vast numbers in western China — were also being targeted.Human Rights. Watch groups claim China is in its darkest period of human abuse since the riots in Tiananmen Square. The US Government states China “disregards human rights,” stating:
The government of the People's Republic of China (PRC), guided by a totalitarian ideology under the absolute rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), deprives citizens of their rights on a sweeping scale and systematically curtails freedoms as a way to retain power. People in China cannot practice the religion or belief of their choice. They cannot express their opinions openly or form or join groups of their choosing without fear of harassment, arrest, or retribution. Members of minority groups are subject to mass arbitrary detention, Orwellian-style surveillance, political indoctrination, torture, forced abortions and sterilization, and state-sponsored forced labor.Conclusion: China is considered an open air prison under constant surveillance whose population is under constant threat of arbitrary arrest. Over 236 million Chinese are affected by human trafficking. Christian churches are currently being burned and pastors jailed and murdered. See “In China, they're closing churches, jailing pastors – and even rewriting scripture.” Sadly, American Christians are unaware that Chinese use millions of religious minorities, including Christians, as factory slaves. See Christian Human Rights Activist Urges Believers To Avoid Products Made By China's Slaves. Worse, many American Christians do not care to know. And corporate behemoths, who brag about defending US human rights and being woke -- like Nike -- use such slave labor. See Xinjiang forced labour reported in multinational supply chains. See Reports: China Sells Minorities Into ‘Forced Labor' to Benefit Apple, Foxconn, Others & China's Forced Labor Problem & New bill would punish America's corporate giants relying on Chinese slave labor. In short, Christian Americans must arise and demand we stop using China as our National Dollar Store and support countries who don't use and murder religious minorities for free human organ transplants.
