A man who had part of his liver forcibly removed in communist China has stepped forward after escaping the country, drawing attention to the Chinese Communist Party’s mass murder-for-profit scheme known as forced organ harvesting..
Cheng Peiming, a Falun Gong practitioner turning 59 this month, recalls six prison guards pinning him down in a Chinese hospital to administer anesthesia against his will while being held in a prison in northeastern China over his faith. Only after escaping to the United States in 2020 and taking a series of medical tests did he confirm his worst fears: part of his liver was gone, along with a portion of his lung.
But Peiming’s story offers hope. He is living proof of the heinous organ trade which has been taking place in China for more than two decades. As more witnesses like Peiming have come forward, concern over the issue has steadily grown, with the United States calling on China to open its doors to international scrutiny, and the House passing a bill called the Falun Gong Protection Act, which the Senate has also introduced, to curb the abuse.
