The Way I Heard It with Mike Rowe

Jan Jekielek is a senior editor with The Epoch Times and host of “American Thought Leaders [https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/american-thought-leaders].” He has extensively covered the issue of forced organ harvesting in China, particularly concerning Falun Gong practitioners. It is estimated that 60,000 to 100,000 organs annually have been involuntarily extracted from political prisoners in China. Jan’s investigative work has brought international attention to this human rights atrocity.
