US Congress Re-Introduces Bipartisan Bill to Stop Organ Harvesting in China
Evidence the crime is really happening increases. Something should be done.
by Marco Respinti
In the last few weeks, things seem to have accelerated and concerns about all the different crimes committed by the Chinese regime are growing across the world.
On March 10, 2021, the 117th US Congress in Washington, D.C., acted to confront one of the most heinous deeds ordered by the CCP against its own citizens, i.e. organ harvesting, which targets especially Falun Gong practitioners, but also others, chiefly Uyghurs and other Turkic people in Xinjiang, which its non-Han inhabitants call East Turkestan, and believers of The Church of Almighty God.
A bipartisan Congress introduced a bill in both Houses to combat forced organ harvesting and trafficking in persons for the purpose of the removal of organs and for other purposes. The bill is identified as S. 602 in the Senate, sponsored by Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Chris Coons (D-CT), and as H.R. 1592 in the House of Representatives, sponsored by Congressmen Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Tom Suozzi (D-NY).

The Ghent Jehovah’s Witness Decision: Dangerous for All Religions
Suggesting that current members do not associate with “apostate” ex-members has been historically common in many religions.by Massimo Introvigne
Article 3 of 4 (see article 1 and article 2)
The decision rendered on March 16, 2021 by the Court of Ghent in Belgium, which states that suggesting that current members of a religious organization do not associate with ex-members who have been disfellowshipped or have left the organization amounts to discrimination and incitement to hatred, is not dangerous for the religious liberty of Jehovah’s Witnesses only. It represents a danger for all religions, not only because of the intrusion into the sphere of autonomy of a religious body (discussed in the second article of this series), but also because the practice of “shunning” so-called “apostate” ex-members (a technical term used by sociologists without any negative implication) is hardly unique to the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Several new religious movements have similar policies. I would not insist on them, because of the possible objection that “ostracism” is in fact typical of “cults,” although not many would use the word “cult” for the Amish, whose shunning practices are the subject of several novels and movies.
