Nina Shea

Where a statute applies, it requires proof that the person acted under the direction of a foreign government, the one thing a large network of minor actors is good at hiding.

Nina Shea sees a different problem in Beijing's pressure on religious communities inside the United States.

A Hudson Institute senior fellow, she served seven terms as a US commissioner on international religious freedom.

"The Justice Department is investigating some of these, but only a tiny, tiny fraction do they investigate and bring charges on, much less take to court," she told The Epoch Times.

The U.S. Senate passed the Falun Gong and Victims of Forced Organ Harvesting Protection Act as 4009 on September 28th.

In an October 2nd with Minghui, the director of the Hudson Institute Center for Religious Freedom, Ms. Nina Shea described the recent developments on the bill as very exciting.

She said that they worked with Falun Gong for over a decade to get Washington's attention directed to the abomination of forced organ harvesting under the CCP regime, and that finally there's Senate and House acknowledgement that live organ harvesting is really being carried out.

She said, moreover, the American transplant community is part of the problem, particularly in training and partnering with transplant surgeons in China.

Right, I think what you mentioned is something that, actually, when you think about it, so the rally brought together, or at least the parts that I watched, human rights activists, religious activists, you know, people from different religious groups, as well as politicians.

I believe I saw Congressman Pat Ryan was there speaking today, as well as on screen, Nina Shea.

These are people, you know, I think the point here is that this issue is not just something that stays in the realm of human rights and activism.

It is something that should be championed in all conversations and at the forefront of all conversations with the Chinese Communist Party.
