AR 132 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Denounces organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners and political prisoners in People's Republic of China.

New Jersey's Assembly Resolution 132 denounces the alleged practice of harvesting organs from Falun Gong practitioners and political prisoners in China, citing reports of systemic organ harvesting from unconsenting prisoners since the early 2000s. The resolution specifically references China’s historical use of executed prisoners for organ transplants (documented since 1984) and claims Falun Gong practitioners were targeted, with estimates suggesting 65,000 deaths for organs between 2000-2008. It directs the state to transmit the resolution to the U.S. Secretary of State, the Chinese Ambassador to the U.S., and the UN representative. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new laws but formally expresses New Jersey’s stance against these practices.
