House Passes Falun Gong Protection Act
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Falun Gong Protection Act (HR 1540) by voice vote on May 5 to combat Beijing’s forced organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners.
- The bill proposes sanctions against individuals who facilitated this involuntary practice in China.
- Sanctions include travel bans, visa invalidation, and penalties up to $1 million and 20 years imprisonment.
Rep. Scott Perry emphasized the need for consequences and stressed U.S. leadership in opposing such practices. Falun Gong, valued for its meditative and principled practices, has faced repression in China since 1999.
