Falun Gong and Victims of Forced Organ Harvesting Protection Act
This bill, titled the Falun Gong and Victims of Forced Organ Harvesting Protection Act, authorizes the President to impose sanctions on foreign individuals and entities accused of participating in or facilitating forced organ harvesting in China. The sanctions include blocking property and interests in property within the United States and making listed individuals inadmissible to the United States or ineligible for visas. The bill requires the President to submit lists of sanctioned persons to congressional committees and mandates a report on China's organ transplant policies and practices, including an assessment of whether forced organ harvesting constitutes an atrocity.
