Questions are mounting about where China procures organs used for transplants.
The harrowing suspicion is that China is carrying out forced organ harvesting on prisoners, esp. from minority groups.
🇨🇳 must explain why the organ transplant and organ donor numbers do not add up.

The EU embargo on Russian oil is welcome and it will hit the Russian Federation hard.
But we need to do more to stop Putin's war crimes.
A full embargo on Russian energy imports is needed, including gas, in addition to very stringent sanctions.

The technology is there and commercially available, but we need to significantly ramp up deployment.
