AR SR14

Urges U.S. Congress and Arkansas congressional delegation to call upon China's government to immediately end organ harvesting from all prisoners and prisoners of conscience, including Falun Gong practitioners and religious/ethnic minorities.

Calls for a full and transparent investigation by the U.S. Department of State into China's organ transplant practices and prosecution of those engaged in such practices.

Directs Arkansas to encourage its medical community to educate residents about risks of traveling to China for organ transplants and to ban entry of individuals who participated in illegal organ removal.

Cites reports estimating China performs 60,000-100,000 transplants annually versus official claims of 10,000, with 25% of liver transplants completed within days or hours despite traditional Chinese customs against organ donation.

Notes the Chinese government claims 90% of organ sources come from executed prisoners, but execution rates have declined 10% annually since 2002, far below transplant numbers, suggesting use of prisoners of conscience.
