Watch them scramble to re-butt serious, documented breaches of existing law. Lay it all bare, and We The People will decide.

In other news from UNGA. President Trump led the meeting on religious freedom. It’s all connected
“China is harvesting thousands of human organs from its Uighur Muslim minority, UN human-rights body hears
The UN Human Rights Council heard on Tuesday that China is engaged in widespread harvesting of human organs from persecuted religious and ethnic minorities.
The China Tribunal made the accusation at the council’s meeting in Geneva, Switzerland. It said Uighur Muslims and the Falun Gong religious group were affected.
The China Tribunal is a group backed by an Australian human rights charity that’s investigating the issue.
A lawyer for the group said China was “cutting out the hearts and other organs from living, blameless, harmless, peaceable people,” describing the situation as an atrocity.
China has denied large-scale harvesting of organs. It has acknowledged using executed prisoners’ organs in the past but says it stopped in 2015, according to Reuters.”

Possible, but I doubt it. Ex-Pat Han are paying big bucks for a Han Chinese kidney match and I doubt they want a Central Asian kidney. When I was in Hong Kong about 20 years ago during first week of October, Chinese National Day, there was a one week halt to executions on the Mainland. The Hong Kong media were running multiple stories about the huge back up of Ex-Pat Chinese waiting in Hong Kong for executions to begin again and for organ to become available. The large number of people waiting were putting a stress on hotels and on kidney dialysis centers.

My ex has all the travel stuff from that time frame but quick think is that it was about 5 years after “Tiananmen” and a few years after being in USSR prior to final collapse; so 1994-5(?). (time compression get really severe after age 75. :>) All I can say is that I distinctly remember the local media talking about the execution moratorium and the stress on medical and lodging facilities caused by the backup of people waiting for transplants. I also remember never being so happy to see a McDonalds after spending three weeks riding 2 and 3 number trains in China for three weeks,:>)

I apologise for being short with you, but I was actually serving on the AIDS Advisory Council of the HKG at that time. I would have remembered the press reports at that time.
There was a big brouhaha on mainland women coming to HK to give birth because of the excellent record of maternal and infant care in HK and also to get residency for the babies. It put a massive strain on health facilities at that time and there was a public backlash about it.
HK barely had enough facilities for their own dialysis patients, let alone medical tourists. There are only a few private hospitals in HK. Those people would have booked themselves into Mainland hospitals for the wait and where they would get transplants from executed prisoners (Falun Gong members fit that designation), not in HK which has strict laws about that.

“Democracy Activist Who Called For Chinese President’s Resignation Dies in Police Custody
Wang Meiyu had repeatedly called for democratic elections and the resignation of China’s president and premier.
A rights activist who called publicly for the resignation of Chinese president Xi Jinping has died in a police-run detention center in the central province of Hunan, rights groups said.
“When I saw his body, it was like another person; he was totally unrecognizable,” Cao said. “They wouldn’t let me take my cell phone in with me, and there were a lot of police officers there with us, and they stopped me from getting too close”

Senator Chris Murphy (D., Conn.), who traveled to Ukraine in early September, told reporters this week that he had heard “directly” from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky that Zelensky felt pressured by Trump to investigate Hunter Biden’s involvement with Ukrainian gas giant Burisma. But according to a tape of a briefing Murphy gave two weeks ago about his meeting with Zelensky, Murphy made no mention at all of such an allegation.
