[Reporter Chen Zhengyu/Taipei Report] Tomorrow is International Human Rights Day. Legislator Xu Zhijie and others today (9th) held an international press conference on "Legislative Action Against Live Organ Harvesting on Human Rights Day" together with the militia. Organ harvesting, and even Taiwanese people participated in illegal transplants, and promoted the formulation of the "Law to Combat and Prevent Live Organ Harvesting", calling for the world to stop the atrocities against humanity.

Lawyer Zhu Wanqi, chairman of the Steering Committee of the "World Declaration Against Live Harvesting", pointed out that in the recent Cambodian human trafficking and live organ harvesting, Taiwanese are not only victims, but also help gangsters to become perpetrators; , many Taiwanese went to trade, and even doctors went to China to assist illegal transplants, so Taiwan's legislation is urgent.

Dr. Huang Qianfeng, secretary-general of the Taiwan International Organ Transplant Care Association, revealed that China has not had a donation system for a long time, and there are still a large number of organ sources, behind which there is a huge live organ bank.

China admits that 90% of the organs come from executed prisoners. It is reported that these prisoners were alive and were cut open to death without anesthesia.

There is a huge gap between the number of executions and the total number of liver and kidney transplants in China. The biggest victims may be Falun Gong members, Uighurs, and prisoners of conscience. Doctors who were supposed to save lives were forced to participate in the atrocities. Many Taiwanese went to China for transplants.

Xu Zhijie, a legislator of the People's Progressive Party, who proposed the main proposal, said that the whole world rejects the cruel atrocities against live organ harvesting, and hopes to promote legislation. The warning of the White Paper Movement in China, Taiwan's legislation is more indicative.

Taiwan should use its own power to stop the atrocities committed by the Chinese Communist Party, and establish better laws and regulations to prevent the atrocities of live organ harvesting from continuing.

Chen Suyue, a legislator of the Democratic Progressive Party who co-sponsored the proposal, said that tomorrow is International Human Rights Day. In today's civilized age, such atrocities such as live organ harvesting still exist, which must be severely condemned and called on everyone to pay attention to it.

Times Power Legislator Chen Jiaohua said that if someone from Taiwan goes to China for transplants for survival and health, or even if some Chinese are cheated and kidnapped, it will definitely affect Taiwanese society. We also hope that the ruling party will work hard to promote the subsequent revision of the law.

DPP legislator Lai Suyue mentioned that international cooperation to end crimes against humanity should exchange information to form a global legal network, not only to severely punish, but also to prevent.

Democratic Progressive Party legislator Guo Guowen pointed out that there have been rumors of live organ harvesting in China for more than ten years, and there are countless victims. Taiwan needs to speed up legislation, hoping that with the cooperation of the government and the opposition, it will be coordinated with the administrative department as a priority bill.

Zhang Liaowanjian emphasized that the international community is building legal firewalls to prevent such evil acts from being allowed to occur in other countries under the connivance of China. In addition, Jiang Zemin, the former general secretary of the Communist Party of China, passed away recently. He had persecuted Falun Gong in the past. Some people question whether it is consistent with the world's human rights values.
