California: Member of Congress Appalled by the CCP's Live Organ Harvesting
(Clearwisdom.net) California Congress member Susan Davis expressed in her
recent reply to a Falun Gong practitioner's letter that she was aware of the
CCP's vicious persecution campaign against Falun Gong practitioners, and felt
particularly appalled by the recent allegations that the Chinese Communist Party
(CCP) has been removing organs of living human beings without consent. Davis said in her letter, "I am very aware and very concerned about the
human rights situation in China. I'm particularly appalled by recent allegations
that the Chinese Communist regime has been removing the organs from living human
beings without consent. Numerous reports have claimed that the CCP has carried
out a vicious campaign against Falun Gong practitioners and other imprisoned
Chinese citizens. While the CCP has denied the existence of the persecution, the
facts seem to be in dispute." Davis said in response to these allegations that she joined many of her
colleagues in signing a letter to President Bush urging him to raise the issue
of unlawful organ removal allegations with CCP leader Hu Jintao. The
international community cannot remain quiet in the face of human rights abuses,
and she is hopeful that President Bush's meeting with President Hu results in
the termination of this horrendous practice. Davis said, "My staff and I have met many times with Falun Gong
supporters and human rights advocates fighting to protect the rights of ordinary
Chinese citizens. I am committed to working on improving human rights in
China and around the world and am grateful for the information you sent me and
for your advocacy on this very important issue. I hope you will continue to stay
involved. Rest assured, I will stay engaged on this critical issue promoting
dialogue, non-violence, freedom, and democracy."
