Bill > SR186

This resolution condemns the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for its long-standing persecution of Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong), a spiritual practice that the CCP has sought to suppress since 1999. The resolution highlights that over 26 years, millions of Falun Dafa practitioners have been unlawfully detained, imprisoned, tortured, and subjected to forced labor, with over 5,200 documented deaths. It details systematic human rights abuses verified by international organizations like the United Nations and Amnesty International, including forced disappearance, torture, and state-sanctioned organ harvesting. The resolution also denounces the CCP's transnational repression, which targets Falun Dafa practitioners in the United States through harassment, digital intimidation, and media manipulation. The Pennsylvania Senate strongly condemns these actions, affirms support for fundamental human rights and freedom of belief, and urges the U.S. Congress to investigate and impose sanctions against CCP officials responsible for these crimes. The resolution aims to show solidarity with those suffering religious persecution and to highlight the CCP's attempts to undermine civil liberties and American sovereignty.
