Near-Unanimous House Vote For REAL Consequences For CCP Organ Harvesting
Some hope for political prisoners being held organ harvesting
Many of us have been ringing the alarm about concentration camps in China for a very long time.
The Clash team is pleased to say we are one of the voices trying for years to bring attention to that issue.
With the GOP setting House priorities now that they are holding the gavel, and with a bipartisan Select Committee looking into the malfeasance of the Chinese Communist Party, we are finally seeing some movement on these issues.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
The House overwhelmingly passed the following Bill:
Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act of 2023
This bill imposes sanctions on persons (individuals and entities) involved in forced organ trafficking and authorizes the Department of State to revoke the passports of individuals convicted of certain crimes related to organ trafficking.
Specifically, the President must report to Congress a list of persons that facilitate (1) forced organ harvesting, or (2) trafficking in persons for organ harvesting. For each person on the list, the President must impose property- and visa-blocking sanctions.
Furthermore, the State Department may deny or revoke the passport of an individual who has been convicted of a federal crime of knowingly transferring any human organ for valuable consideration for use in human transplantation, if the individual (1) is subject to imprisonment or supervised release resulting from that conviction, and (2) used a passport or crossed an international border when committing that crime.
Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), the principal sponsor of the bill, called attention to the penalties in the bill for those found to be involved in forced organ harvesting: a civil penalty of up to $250,000, and a criminal penalty of up to $1 million and 20 years in prison.
“It’s got real teeth. We’re not kidding,” Smith told The Epoch Times ahead of the floor vote. “This is an atrocity, this is a crime against humanity, and it’s a war crime, because this is a war on innocent people in China, and [Chinese leader] Xi Jinping is directly responsible, but those who willingly engage in this will be held responsible.” –EpochTimes
