Thirty-four physicians from the United States and Brazil signed a declaration in favor of the Falun Gong Protection Act. Currently in the U.S. Senate after a companion bill already passed a House vote in June, the bill aims to impose sanctions on individuals involved in the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) forced organ harvesting campaign against Falun Gong practitioners in China.

The international doctors’ declaration came during the third annual World Medical Congress for Life in São Paulo. The event, which took place from Sept. 6 to 8, was held in partnership with the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC). It was attended by doctors, health professionals, and journalists.

The Falun Gong Protection Act would make it U.S. policy to avoid cooperation with China in the organ transplantation field. If passed, the law will apply nationwide, and foreigners who participate in the involuntary extraction of organs in China will be barred from entering the United States as well as prohibited from carrying out transactions in the United States. Any visas they hold will be invalidated as well. Read the full story here›
