Wife of ‘China’s Conscience’ Gao Zhisheng Worries He Has Been Murdered
The wife of Gao Zhisheng known as “China’s conscience” worries that the Chinese Communist Party has murdered the human rights lawyer. On April 14, she demanded Beijing answer two requests and said she would take further action if they did not acknowledge her right to information on her husband who is in state custody.
“If Gao Zhisheng is indeed dead, I ask the CCP to return his ashes, out of humanity,” wife Geng He told The Epoch Times in a phone interview on April 14.
“[If Gao is still alive], I’d like to be detained in the same prison as Gao. I ask the Chinese embassy to issue a visa to me and let me enter China,” Geng added.
US Lawmakers Seek Accountability for Organ Harvesting in China
WASHINGTON A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers last month introduced the first legislation to combat global organ trafficking, which, if approved, would end U.S. silence on the lucrative and illegal practice perpetrated by the Chinese communist regime, according to experts.
U.S. lawmakers in early March reintroduced legislation in the Senate and the House to stop China’s state-sanctioned practice of forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience. Similar legislation was introduced in the previous session of Congress in December last year.
The United States and the international community have remained silent on the forced organ harvesting issue, despite the evidence of this practice, for far too long, Kristina Olney, the director of government relations for the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation told The Epoch Times.

Time for Canada and the World to Address Beijing’s Crimes Against Falun Gong, Panel Hears
The recently retired secretary general of Amnesty International in Canada says that after 20 years of observing Chinese human rights abuses in that role, it has been “truly despairing” to witness the lack of response to the brutal persecution of Falun Gong adherents in China.
“I’ve always been bolstered by the conviction and clarity of [Falun Gong] practitioners and their loved ones by their resilience, by their determination to press on, and certainly by their strength and absolute courage in refusing to be silent,” Alex Neve said in a speech prepared for a webinar on the persecution campaign aginst Falun Gong and its implications for Canada-China policy, held on Dec. 9.
