On February 11, amendments to the Medicines and Medical Devices Bill became law in the United Kingdom. This is the first Time the British government has introduced legislation to explicitly resist the evil practice of live organ harvesting by the Chinese Communist Party.
The bill was previously passed in the UK House of Lords and then in the UK House of Commons on January 27th, so it became law in the UK after going through all the legislative procedures. The purpose of the bill is to stop the evil of the Chinese Communist Party’s forced organ harvesting of prisoners of conscience and to ensure that (potentially forcibly harvested) human tissue, organs and cells imported from overseas cannot enter the British medical community.
In March 2020, the independent People’s Tribunal (China Tribunal) in London, England, reviewed detailed witness testimony and issued a written verdict that the CCP had committed “Crimes Against Humanity” against Falun Gong and the Xinjiang Uighur community. The Chinese Tribunal’s verdict was cited by several MPs in the British government’s legislative process.
Lord Hunt: Modern slavery has entered the British supply chain
The amendment was proposed by Lord Hunt of Kings Heath in the House of Lords, who said in a parliamentary debate that “the world is increasingly aware that China [the Chinese Communist Party] is forcibly harvesting organs from prisoners of conscience. “Chinese courts have recently discovered that the horrific crime of forcibly removing organs from living victims (the murder process) is taking place on a wide scale.”
He also cited the China Tribunal’s conclusion that “forced organ harvesting has been taking place on a large scale throughout China for many years, and Falun Gong practitioners have become one of, and probably the primary source of, the organ supply.” .
He added that millions of Chinese citizens are currently detained in reeducation-through-labor camps , including ethnic and religious groups, and that “this modern-day slavery has entered the British supply chain and there is no doubt that we are currently complicit in it.”
He believes the amendment complements a gap in the UK’s human tissue legislation, as the current UK Human Tissue Act does not require proper vetting consent for imported human tissue (human tissue). He added that the amendment would prevent the UK from becoming complicit in such crimes and send an important message to other countries.
“The UK should put pressure on WHO”
During the debate on the bill, some MPs suggested that the UK had previously relied on the World health Organization’s (WHO) view of China’s organ transplant system, which according to the WHO operates an “ethical organ donation system”; however, it was later discovered that the information on which the WHO based its assessment was provided by the Chinese Communist Party itself.
Lord Hunt also said in his speech, “I hope that the government will put pressure on the World Health Organization (WHO) to take this issue seriously.”
“Our country and our people must not become complicit in the Chinese Communist Party.”
Another topic raised in the amendment debate in the British Parliament was the “Real Life Corpses Exhibition,” which was displayed at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham in 2018, with specimens of bodies from China classified as “unclaimed bodies” without any The bodies were all from China and were classified as “unclaimed bodies” without any licensing documents or consent forms.
In her speech on February 11, Ms. Marie Rimmer, the MP who proposed the amendment in the House of Commons, also referred to the 2018 exhibition of corpses in Birmingham, “Those are the bodies of prisoners of conscience or victims of human rights, and the British people unknowingly paid £15 per ticket to visit these poor people. ” She said.
“I heard the message and made up my mind to work for these human rights victims to end the (illegal) harvesting of human tissue and organs. We, as a nation and as a people, must not be complicit in the barbaric acts of the Chinese Communist Party.” Reamer said.
“A no longer childish British-Chinese relationship.”
Reamer also mentioned her hope that those in the Chinese Communist Party who commit crimes against humanity will one day be brought to justice. “This amendment sends a clear message that we cannot tolerate such horrific crimes against humanity. It is done (for) the Chinese people, not for the Chinese Communist Party, and let this amendment be the beginning of a new relationship (between Britain) and China, a new relationship that is no longer naive.”
Baroness Penn, the British baroness, explained this by saying, “I am confident in ensuring that no exhibitor can display imported bodies without strong approval.”
Another key theme of the parliamentary debate was the possibility that medical equipment exported from the UK could be used for organ preservation and transport by the Chinese Communist Party. “The Institute for the Study of Communist Crime found that two British companies, Organox and Bridge to Life, exported such medical equipment to China, which led to their possible involvement in forced organ harvesting. Of course, we absolutely have to stop the British government and companies from being involved in any human rights abuses,” Payne said.
