Simon Zhang, a survivor of the persecution of Falun Gong, speaks about his mother's death at the 2023 international religious freedom summit. On Chinese New Year (three days before the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics' Opening Ceremony), police arrested and detained Simon's mother, Ms. Yunzhi Ji. Authorities attempted to silence her because she was previously found with paper notes, stickers, and materials printed with Falun Gong information in her home. After two weeks in detention, she fell into a coma due to the abuse and passed away 49 days after her initial arrest. Read more about her case: https://faluninfo.net/ji-yunzhi/

Jiang Zemin, the former top leader of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), died last month. But ‘don’t mourn’ him—That’s the message from the Digital Outreach director of the Falun Dafa Information Center, Ben Maloney.

On November 1, 2022, the Academy of Forensic Nursing (AFN) and Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting (DAFOH) hosted the inaugural Nurses Summit to Combat and Prevent Forced Organ Harvesting. The summit’s objective is to highlight the importance of combating forced organ harvesting within the global nursing community and offer solutions for protecting and promoting ethical medical practices worldwide. The Nurses Summit featured nursing scholars, leaders, human rights experts, and eyewitnesses who are determined to prevent collusion with the Chinese forced organ harvesting industry, raise awareness about the issue, and see it end.
